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. Examples include the 2001-2006 Interior Appropriations Bills, the Great Basin Restoration Initiative, Departmental guidance (DOI Emergency Stabilization and Rehabilitation Manual), Executive Order 13112 (Invasive Species - 2/99) and the BLM’s Standards for Rangeland Health. The 2007 USDI Healthy Lands Initiative calls for landscape-scale restoration to reduce the spread of invasive species and re-establish native communities.
