Grant Description

Description of Program and/or Project a. Background: BLM recognizes the importance of vegetation management. Healthily functioning plant communities will maintain and enhance a sustainable level of social and economic benefits on public lands. Understanding the potential impacts on public lands plant communities, will help effectively manage resources and other activities so they improve conditions and help achieve objectives for BLM and potential partner. Botanical inventory and rare native plants monitoring is part of BLM___s mission to maintain a continuing inventory of all resources and other values on public lands. Keeping inventory and monitoring current to reflect changes in conditions over time, may provide adaptive management implementation plans to resources. b.

To connect with local communities to the environment through partnerships, education, outreach, support, and restoration activities. Developing a botanical inventory and monitoring process will provide streamlining data more efficiently.
