Learn how the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and other members of the Plant Conservation Alliance (PCA) are working to restore healthy, biodiverse, and resilient ecosystems. The PCA is a public-private coalition of about 15 Federal agencies and more than 400 non-federal cooperators. In 2015, the PCA developed the National Seed Strategy for Rehabilitation and Restoration to increase the availability of locally adapted native seed for restoration. PCA members and partners have made significant progress implementing the National Seed Strategy during its first five years, but our work has only begun. To truly “seed” the future, we need to develop national policy on native seed development and use, build botanical and ecological expertise throughout the land managing agencies, and develop a National Seed and Restoration Center for cross-institutional coordination and implementation.
