The BLM CA is offering this grant to safeguard and restore the rich botanical diversity across Southern California’s public lands. This grant is for addressing the critical decline of native plant species, many of which are rare or threatened, with only a quarter of original vegetation remaining pristine. In line with the BLM’s mission to protect resources, this initiative aims to cultivate thriving biological communities. Collaborating with a Southern California Botanic Garden, the project will enhance the existing Plant Conservation Program. Key activities include establishing a ‘Seeds of Success’ program, performing essential inventories and monitoring of rare plant populations, and pursuing vital plant-related research opportunities to preserve California’s unique flora.

| Description: | California public lands contain diverse natural communities that support a large number of native plants and animals. Nearly 2,096 plants are considered rare, threatened or uncommon and during this time, we have already seen 32 species go extinct in California. With all this great diversity, only about twenty-five percent of the original vegetation remains in a somewhat pristine condition. BLMâ¿¿s resource protection mission, and associated strategic plan, calls for BLM field managers to create habitat conditions that enable biological communities to flourish. The BLM Plant Conservation Program in Southern California includes inventories, seed collections, propagation, monitoring, genetic analysis etc. This project is a cooperation between a Southern California Botanic Garden (that is a member of the Center for Plant Conservation) and the BLM. Working together, we will establish a Seeds of Success program in Southern California, monitor rare plant species, inventory populations, and pursue many more plant-related research opportunities. |
