The Bureau of Land Management's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.
The Bureau of Land Management's Plant Conservation and Restoration Management Program (PCRP) is committed to enhancing the availability and use of locally adapted, genetically appropriate native seeds for restoration efforts. Established in 2001, PCRP's broad goals include improving ecosystem restoration and resilience through the strategic collection and deployment of native seeds. Initiatives like the Seeds of Success project and the development of the National Seed Strategy for Rehabilitation and Restoration underscore this commitment. The program also focuses on increasing the proportion of native seeds in restoration projects, supporting education and job opportunities in disadvantaged communities, developing scientifically informed restoration practices, and fostering partnerships for ecosystem restoration. Additionally, PCRP backs projects through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the Inflation Reduction Act, highlighting its role in national ecosystem resilience and restoration efforts.
