Native forbs and restoration technology

This is a presentation by Nancy Shaw about the Great Basin Restoration Initiative. It is a collaborative program to promote the health and sustainability of the Great Basin for the public to use and enjoy. Components of the strategy include planning, inventory/assessment, implementation, monitoring/evaluation, and science. The presentation focuses on one part of the initiative - the Great Basin Native Plant Selection and Increase Project, which provides tools and support to native seed growers in meeting native seed demands. Research on native grass and forb species are highlighted, including cultural methods to establish them on sites.
