The Bureau of Land Management acknowledged the National Academies' report that the current supply of native seeds may be lacking to maintain the integrity of local ecosystems.

The report examined the country’s supply of native seeds and determined the lack of supply was a barrier to ecological restoration.

"Our new report concludes that the current supply of #NativeSeeds is insufficient to meet demands for ecological restoration and other revegetation efforts," National Academies posted on Twitter.

The report detailed steps the Bureau of Land Management and the federal government could take, such as identifying and conserving natural native plant communities and collaborating on seed cleaning and storage.

“We’re thankful for the hard work of the @theNASEM in providing this important and timely final report on how to strengthen the nation’s supply of native seed for ecological restoration," Bureau of Land Management said in a post on Twitter.

The Plant Conservation Alliance is a collaboration between public and private groups, including members from 17 federal agencies and more than 400 non-federal cooperators. The ultimate goal is to protect native plants and maintaining those plant communities. The PCA developed the National Seed Strategy for Rehabilitation and Restoration in 2015.
