COVER STORY: A valuable resource
BISMARCK, N.D. — On a tree-lined tract a stone’s throw from the Bismarck (N.D.) Municipal Airport, a low-profile organization is playing a key role in area conservation efforts.
If you’re interested in conservation and live in North Dakota, South Dakota, western Minnesota or eastern Montana, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service’s Plant Materials Center probably can help.
The Bismarck center already has helped countless area residents. Drive around the region, and you’ll find its grasses and legumes in pastures, its trees in shelterbelts and its plants along shorelines. It also has a hand in testing seed mixes for land enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program.
“We provide plants solutions to conservation problems versus engineering solutions — cement and rock and dirt,” says Wayne Duckwitz, manager of the Bismarck center. “We can assist with the technical expertise and plant varieties you need.”
