The BLM-(MT) Department is offering a grant for Colleges or Universities in Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota to develop native plant materials for sage-grouse habitat restoration, stabilization, and rehabilitation projects. This grant aims to build conservation science into curriculum, increase pollinator habitat, and foster understanding of culturally significant plants. The objective is to collect and germinate native plant seed while connecting culture to public lands. The project provides long-term public benefits by supporting native plant and conservation projects on public lands, and raising awareness about the importance of native plants for environmental factors like sage-grouse habitat.

| Description: | Background: The National Native Seed Strategy for Rehabilitation and Restoration 2015-2020 outlines a coordinated approach to establish a national network of native seed collectors, growers, and nurseries to supply adequate quantities of appropriate seed, and a network of restoration ecologists. The Montana State Office is seeking to partner with Colleges or Universities across Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota to help develop native plant materials that would include species important for sage-grouse habitat restoration, stabilization and rehabilitation projects, culturally significant species, increase pollinator habitat, and research needs for these species. The partnership is also seeking to build conservation science into new or existing curriculum, develop interest in restoration efforts, and foster better communication and understanding of culturally significant and tribally important plants.
Objectives: To develop native plant programs by collecting and germinating native plant seed. This project will build unique relationships with recipients who are interested in natural conservation work and keeping their own culture connected to the public lands. Public Benefit: This project provides long-term benefits to the public by providing native plant and conservation projects on public lands. In addition, this project will provide education and awareness about the importance of native plants and their impact on environmental factors such as sage-grouse habitat. |
