Plant Materials Program Tribal Assistance
The USDA-NRCS Plant Materials Program helps
provide plant solutions for conservation needs. Many of today’s environmental
challenges can be addressed through the use of plants. Many native plant species
have traditional uses that are culturally significant to American Indians. The
Plant Materials Program can provide information, plants, and technology to
assist Tribal conservation efforts.
