Abstract

The use of native plants for rehabilitation after wildfires and restoration of disturbed wildlands is being encouraged by various BLM programs, initiatives, and policies. This project integrates several proposals previously prepared by Idaho, Utah, and Nevada BLM to increase native plant production and use within the Great Basin, utilizing an applied science approach in a collaborative project. Although southeastern Oregon was not involved in the organizing this project, the development of native plant materials described in this proposal will also have direct application in that area. This project represents a regional approach to native plant enhancement encompassing the entirety of the Great Basin, the largest block of public rangelands (75 million acres) in BLM. This proposal was prepared in part by members of the Great Basin Restoration Initiative workgroup and meets an important objective of the GBRI strategic plan (Healing the Land 2000).
