Rose Lake Plant Materials Center
East Lansing, Michigan
 Established 1958
The Rose Lake Plant Materials Center (MIPMC) in East Lansing, Michigan, provides
plant solutions for the Great Lakes Region. The Rose Lake Program serves
Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, and portions of Illinois, New York, and
Pennsylvania. The Center is located in the southern part of the Lower Peninsula
of Michigan. Agriculture is diverse throughout the Center’s service area.
It includes dairy, beef cattle, cash crops, truck-crop, and nursery operations.
Timber production is important in the northern part of the service area. Large
urban populations, making recreation an important enterprise, affect much of the
area. The special problems throughout most of the service area are associated
with glaciated soils, muck lands, sand dunes, and mine spoils.
The Center has developed technology for major conservation concerns including
stabilization of streambanks, shorelines, and roadbanks; improving pastureland;
and increasing the availability and use of native plant species.
The Rose Lake Plant Materials Center has developed conservation varieties of
cool- and warm-season grasses, shrubs, trees, forbs and legumes.
