Conservation Plant Materials

Conservation plant materials are specific types of plants selected, maintained, and used to restore or protect natural areas, such as forests, grasslands, and wetlands. They are chosen because they are well-suited to local environments, helping prevent erosion, support wildlife, and maintain ecological health. These materials can include seeds, cuttings, or nursery-grown plants that are genetic sources adapted for conservation efforts. Using appropriate conservation plant materials ensures that restoration projects are more successful, sustainable, and environmentally appropriate, contributing to the preservation of biodiversity and ecosystem stability.
