In collaboration with the BRN Native Plant Program, we revegetate denuded landscapes with native vegetation to provide forage and habitat to wildlife, address nectar gaps on the landscape, stabilize soils, and promote native species richness and diversity in our landscapes.
We pay special focus to at-risk pollinators and work with plants designed to fill temporal gaps in the nectar landscape. By working with plants with this directive in mind, we support the landscape from the bottom-up. The combined efforts of BRN's Watershed Restoration Program and Native Plant Materials Program have resulted in the return of nearly 2,000 Agave spp to a critical migratory path for the Lesser Long-nosed Bat, enhanced upwards of 200 acres of Montezuma Quail habitat with forage species, and are revegetating riparian corridors.

Invasive plants have broad impacts on water quality, biodiversity, fish and wildlife habitat, tree cover, fire risk, and costs. Because invasive plants spread quickly and can displace native plants, prevent native plant growth, and create monocultures, they often reduce plant species diversity also increasing threat of fire and habitat loss.
Our invasive plant management activities focus on high-priority threats to the landscape, including invasive plants in riparian locations and encroaching on endangered species habitat. We strive to prevent and control invasive plants, thus giving an ecological advantage to the native plants that enhance habitat for our special fauna, better stabilize our soils, and help the Sky Islands continue to be one of the most biodiverse regions in the United States.
