Interagency Sage Brush Steppe Native Seed Increase ContractsThe Interagency Sage Brush Steppe Native Seed Increase Contracts are a strategic initiative managed by the Department of the Interior to address the insufficient commercial supply of native seeds required for federal vegetation management. Spanning portions of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Colorado, and Wyoming, these contracts aim to bolster seed availability for post-fire and disaster recovery efforts. By fostering a stable market and reducing production risks for local growers, the program seeks to lower government seeding costs, prevent market volatility, and expand the variety of commercially available species. This initiative is critical for moving away from a reliance on non-native species and cultivated varieties that fail to maintain functioning ecosystems. The contracts focus on developing specific seed stocks tailored to the unique growing conditions of the northern sagebrush steppe. These specialized seeds are designed to restore sage grouse habitats and enhance range productivity by introducing species that offer greater resilience to wildfire and improved resistance to cheatgrass.
