(some col.) ; maps (some col.) ; 28 cmOnline resources: Abstract: Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) of the United States Department of Agriculture jointly released Revegetating with Native Grasses in 1995. That manual fulfilled a long recognized need to summarize the lessons both agencies had learned about successfully planting native grasses in the western prairie/plains region of the continent. The develoment of that information had begun with the establishment of the NRCS - formerly the Soil Conservation Service - in the dust bowl days of 1930s. Recently,government sponsored programs such as the USDA's Conservation Reserve Program and private efforts such as DUC's upland nesting habitat improvement activities have grown closer in function. This common interest also exists in grasslands and wetlands habitats in the eastern climax forest region of the continent.
