Bare sites should be seeded with native plant species as soon as appropriate. |
| Text: |
Management of Revegetation and Invasive Plants: "7. When timely natural regeneration of the native plant community is not likely to occur, carefully select and use native species that will not compete with or exclude botanical resources for revegetation efforts. Bare sites should be seeded with native plant species as soon as appropriate to prevent establishment of undesirable plant species. Although land management agencies may allow use of non-native species under some circumstances, we believe that nonnative invasive plant species should not be used under any circumstances." |
