Go Native! With Native Plants is an expansion of a project previously
funded by GLNPO in FY98. In this current project, Michigan Association of
Conservation Districts (MACD) will continue to develop prototypes of
successful native plants use in ecosystem restoration and native
landscaping in each of their conservation districts. In this project:
- MACD will expand the project to an estimated 30 Districts (counties);
- Expand work with private growers of native plant material to promote an
increase in native species availability;
- Intensify native plant
training and education program for Districts, NRCS staff, other partnering
agencies and landowners;
- Expand collections of plant materials as needed to stimulate
commercially available sources of local genotypes; and
- Share project information with other Conservation Districts,
especially in the Great Lakes and Midwestern states.
