United States Department of Agriculture – Forest Service

Our 2015-2020 MOU and other programs with the United States Forest Service cover a multitude of common interests. Key to this partnership is the ability of our member gardens to utilize the MOU in streamlining permits; allowing them to easily collect plants on US Forest Service lands. Learn more about our partnership here.

Our Plant Protection Program and Plant Collections Network  are also possible through our relationships with other branches of the United States Department of Agriculture.
