Abstract

Because of increasing public interest in native plants, regional groups have been cooperating to develop native species. The Federal Native Plants Initiative was formed in 1994 to coordinate and encourage the development and use of native plants. The program they developed includes public involvement, organizational structure, technical work groups, implementation plans, and followup. The implementation plan addresses native seed development by private industry, grower contracts, and agency cooperation. Public and private agencies can work together during the planning stages and provide the technical information necessary for development of native plant materials for a given region.
