In 2018, then FCCD Natural Resource Specialist Aaron Rosenblum partnered with the Washington Native Plant Society to test 5 different native seed mixes on two restoration sites in Douglas County shrub-steppe habitat to determine the most effective seed mixes to restore healthy shrub-steppe vegetation communities to critical areas. 

The project methods and results were published in the Fall/Winter 2019 issue of the Washington Native Plant Society's Douglasia, Volume 43, No. 3. A copy of the article is available below.
