| 説明 | Have you ever wondered where all the seed collected through the Seeds of Success (SOS) program ends up? For BLM Wyoming, much of it ends up at the Upper Colorado Plant Materials Center (UCPMC) in Meeker, Colorado. Through a multi-year cooperative agreement, the UCPMC conducts a variety of projects that support the BLM Wyoming Native Plant Materials Development program. Projects include evaluating germination and growth requirements of SOS-collected native forbs, such as sulfur-flower buckwheat, Western wallflower, and tanseyleaf tansyaster, which are an important component of Greater Sage-Grouse habitat. The UCPMC also conducts seed increase projects for native species with better known growth requirements and harvesting techniques. SOS-collected green needlegrass, Indian ricegrass, and squirreltail bottlebrush are in such growout projects and have produced enough seed that they are now available for restoration projects and use as foundation seed for commercial growing operations. The overarching goal of the partnership is to increase availability of locally-sourced and ecologically appropriate plant material for use in restoration and reclamation on public lands, thereby improving the integrity and resilience of native plant communities.
