Gain insight into how the Plant Material Centers might integrate Indigenous Stewardship Methods into NRCS conservation practices and how to evaluate and test these methods for resource conservation.
This webinar gives a brief overview of the Indigenous Stewardship Methods and NRCS Conservation Practice Standards Guidebook. It discusses the similarities in the Indigenous Stewardship Methods used in different regions of the United States focusing on plant use categories of Native Plant Foods and Basketry. The beneficial ecological effects of these methods for increasing plant production for indigenous use are reviewed and the potential beneficial conservation effects for biodiversity, wildlife, water conservation, air quality, soil conservation, etc. are discussed. The ways that the Plant Materials Centers can test the conservation effects (soil quality, pollinator habitat, etc.) of indigenous stewardship methods (such as through on-PMC plantings, field plantings, or conservation field trials, etc.) are outlined.
This webinar is sponsored by the USDA NRCS National Plants Team located at the East National Technology Support Center.
