Plants for People: Bringing Traditional Ecological Knowledge to Restoration (2018 Post-Implementation Status and Plant Establishment Report)

This report to Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board summarizes post-implementation and plant establishment activities for Phase I of the Plants for People project during 2017-18, including enacting the Tribal Plant Materials Development Plan at Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, partially funding of a nursery manager, maintaining the nursery and expanding plant production to new species. Continued restoration at Herbert Farm and Natural Area and Champoeg State Park has included invasive weed control and prescribed burns prior to planting native seed. Prairie and riparian monitoring and photo points are tracking the establishment of native vegetation at these sites. Public outreach included harvesting bulbs and propagation workshops at CTGR and a volunteer planting day at Herbert Farm.
