The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service Plant Materials Program and the New Jersey Plant Materials Center
The New Jersey Plant Materials Center (NJPMC) has been providing plant solutions for natural resource conservation concerns since 1965. As one of 25 Plant Materials Centers (PMC) nationwide that constitute the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service Plant Materials Program (PMP), the NJPMC is uniquely situated to focus on coastal ecosystem conservation concerns. The NJPMC and other PMCs achieve their shared task of developing and delivering vegetative solutions and conservation technology primarily via three products: conservation plant releases, published documents, and presentations/training sessions. The PMP benefits from internal partnerships between PMCs and external partnerships with other Federal/State agencies, nonprofit groups, and academia to achieve shared goals as efficiently as possible. This paper was presented at the 2019 Joint Annual Meeting of the Northeast and Southern Forest Conservation Nursery Associations (Atlantic City, NJ, July 23–25, 2019).
