Native Plants Journal began as a cooperative effort of the USDA Forest Service and the University of Idaho, with assistance from the USDA Agricultural Research Service and the Natural Resources Conservation Service. Now published through the Indiana University Press, our goal is to provide technical and practical information on the growing and planting of North American (Canada, US, and Mexico) native plants for restoration, conservation, reforestation, landscaping, roadsides, and so on. Our first issue was printed in January 2000.

We need contributions from scientists, academics, field personnel, nursery managers, and others concerning all aspects of growing and planting native plants. Papers are published either refereed or general technical. Please contact Kas Dumroese (kdumroese@fs.fed.us) if you have questions about making a contribution.
