Montana/Dakotas has partnered in the past with non-governmental organizations to help in the development of locally adapted plant materials.

Objectives:
Develop locally adapted native plant materials including seed and seedling resources for public land restoration or lands adjacent to public lands.

Tasks under this project include but are not limited to:
1. Providing seed and seedlings 2. Cleaning of small wild collected lots of seed Public Benefit:
The public will benefit because the project provides locally adapted seed and seedlings for habitat restoration, which in turn creates more habitat for hunting, fishing, and recreation opportunities.

These plant materials will be available to partners for use in restoration on public, private, and tribal lands.
