What happens to sites after weed management, targeted grazing, or wildfire? In a low resistance and resilience landscape, a native seeding treatment is probably going to be needed. Anyone who has ever done a native seeding project knows getting seed from a variety of species and in the quantity you need is a major source of frustration and potential delay. Compromises in which seed sources are used, can have unknown, but potentially serious consequences for project success. The Seeds of Success program and partnerships in the Great Basin are evolving to increase the availability of genetically appropriate native seed sources available on the commercial market for all federal and non-federal land managers. This talk provides an overview of the strategic partnerships, goals, and objectives of regional Seeds of Success and native plant materials development partnerships in the Great Basin.
