1 Great Basin Native Plant Project and BLM Plant Conservation Program: Its Role in Sage Grouse Conservation Peggy Olwell BLM Plant Conservation Program Lead March 17, 2014
2 Overview Native Plant Materials Development Program Sagebrush for Conserving Sage- Grouse Climate Change Interagency Seed Conference 3 rd National Seed Conference (planning stages)
3 FY2001 House Appropriations Conference Report Language The managers direct the agencies to develop a long-term program to manage and supply native plant materials for use in various Federal land management restoration and rehabilitation needs. The managers recommend that the interagency native plant conservation initiative lead this effort. Native Plant Materials Development Program Funding committed by DOI/BLM FY2001 FY2014 ~$70 Million

13 Greater Sage-Grouse Habitat with State & Federal Correctional Facilities
14 National Fish, Wildlife & Plants Climate Adaptation Strategy The Strategy identifies seven goals to help fish, wildlife, plants and ecosystems cope with the impacts of climate change. Goal 2: Manage species and habitats to protect ecosystem functions and provide sustainable cultural, subsistence, recreational, and commercial use in a changing climate. Strategy 2.3: Conserve genetic diversity by protecting diverse populations and genetic material across the full range of species occurrences.
