This grant, offered by BLM OR/WA, aims to support the local development and increase of native seed stock within specific ecoregions. Currently, native seeds used in areas like the Lakeview District are sourced from distant locations, potentially limiting their adaptability to local rangelands. Aligned with the 2015-2020 National Seed Strategy, which promotes building a private-sector seed industry, this initiative seeks to ensure the availability of genetically appropriate seeds for restoring healthy plant communities and sustainable ecosystems. By encouraging local applicants to grow seeds within the same climate and ecoregion, the program intends to produce better-adapted stock, fulfilling the strategy’s vision of ‘the right seed in the right place at the right time’ for effective rehabilitation and restoration efforts.

| Description: | The 2015-2020 National Seed Strategy for Rehabilitation and Restoration was released in 2015, which encourages the BLM to begin working with the private sector in order to build a “seed industry” for rehabilitation and restoration. The vision of the National Seed Strategy is “The right seed in the right place at the right time.” And the Mission is “To ensure the availability of genetically appropriate seed to restore viable and productive plant communities and sustainable ecosystems.” Currently all of the native seed for the Lakeview District is grown either in Western Oregon or in other states.
BLM is interested in encouraging and supporting local applicants to grow native seed stock that could be used within the same ecoregion. By producing the seed in local areas with the same climate should allow the seed to be more adapted to grow in the rangelands. |
