Improving Urban Landscapes

The Plant Materials Program is helping meet the NRCS goal of maintaining and enhancing the health of plant communities.  Using plants in urban landscapes can be a valuable component of managing storm-water runoff.  This is being accomplished by selecting adapted plant technology that can be used to improve the quality of urban landscapes.

The Plant Materials program consists of a network of 27 Plant Materials Centers (PMC) throughout the United States.  In Minnesota, NRCS utilizes technical assistance from the Bismarck Plant materials Center.
