Plant Conservation Program Mission: The BLM Wyoming Plant Conservation Program (PCP) strives to protect and sustain native plant communities and the ecosystems in which they are found, and to prevent plant species from becoming rare and threatened with extinction. We work to minimize short- and long-term loss of biological resources on lands that may be subject to development for energy, minerals and recreation, and to facilitate recovery of disturbed lands.

This year Wyoming’s Seeds of Success (SOS) program was once again very successful. We had great mentors and interns collaborating with conservation crews from Colorado, Montana, Utah and Wyoming. Without the hard work from our conservation crews, BLM Wyoming would not be able to maintain the high collection levels we achieved last year! Thank you to all who made 2011 a success!

We are also excited to support the initial steps in creating a wild-type native seed variety for the state of Wyoming. Native grass seed has been sent to Meeker Plant Materials Center for germination trials. The native seed that performs the best will be increased, and made available for reclamation and restoration on public land.
