Plant Conservation

The Oregon Department of Agriculture's Native Plant Conservation Program oversees the conservation and management of Oregon's listed plant species.

• Assists federal, state, and local government agencies with the management of state protected plant populations found on their land, including consultations for impacts to listed species and development of management plans and conservation programs
  
• Issues permits for scientific research and habitat restoration projects involving listed plants
  
• Conducts research to enhance protected plant species recovery efforts
• Periodically reviews listed species and candidate species for potential reclassification, removal, or addition to the State's list of threatened and endangered plants
  

The NPCP is involved in many conservation projects throughout the state, and assists land managers with listed plant species on their properties and works to support recovery goals for Oregon's listed species. Here are some of our conservation projects:
