Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Native Plants for the Pacific

The Plant Materials Program of USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) has been working with and developing plant cultivars since the 1930's for conservation purposes. The Plant Materials Program, through Plant Materials Centers (PMC), have evaluated and released conservation plants that were collected in the USA as well as other parts of the world. Initially, the program concentrated on testing, evaluating, releasing cultivars, and maintaining original seed or plants of conservation grasses and legumes for rangelands and pasturelands, trees and shrubs for windbreaks and shelterbelts, and cover crops for roadbanks and croplands.
