Field Plantings and Reports - Montana and Wyoming

Field plantings evaluate new plant species or plant technologies under a variety of soil, climatic, and land uses to assess their conservation potential under actual use conditions. In Montana and Wyoming, field plantings address needs and actions identified in the Montana and Wyoming Plant Materials needs assessments. Additionally, field plantings address interests, needs, and actions of NRCS Field Offices. The Bridger Plant Materials Center has seed available for field plantings in Montana and Wyoming. Field offices should work with their Plant Materials Committee representative and the Plant Materials Specialist for species seed availability. For information and guidance on field plantings, refer to Plant Materials Technical Note MT-70, Field Plantings.

Field Planting Reports

Field Planting reports document field observations and evaluations. They provide useful information on lessons learned for incorporating into future plantings. These are not replicated or repeated scientific studies (see Plant Materials Technical Notes, Final Study Reports, Brochures, and Publications for study results).

Field Plantings Reports are a new format for sharing information. As a new tool, we welcome feedback.
