The National Botany & Rare Plants Program is currently located with the Range staff.
The National Botany & Rare Plants Program, and
the Planning, Litigation and Appeals aspect of botanical
resources, assist field botanists in attaining the Chief's
priorities and managing botanical resources from a healthy
ecosystem perspective.
Program Initiatives include "Celebrating Wildflowers"
and "Native Plant Conservation". Initiatives
are special topics to which we give added emphasis through
projects, events, literature and funding. The intent
of our varied Initiatives is to help us and our partners
move forward to accomplish specific management goals
for certain key issues.
