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.
