Established 1957
Since 1957, the Corvallis Plant Materials Center (PMC) has provided plant
solutions for western Washington and Oregon. The Center has also developed new
technology for low maintenance landscaping, native tree and shrub establishment,
riparian and wetland restoration, soil bioengineering and native plant use in
ecological landscape restoration. The Center’s releases of improved conservation
plants include varieties of western dogwood, California oatgrass,
blue wildrye, willows, spirea and lupine. The Corvallis PMC is one of 27 centers
nationally and serves western Oregon, western Washington, and northwestern
California. The PMC’s primary mission is to develop new technology in plant
propagation and establishment, seed production, revegetation, restoration, and
erosion control, and to test and release new plant sources for use in riparian
areas, wetlands, and uplands. Most of the focus is on native grasses, forbs, and
shrubs.
