| | Corvallis Plant Materials CenterCorvallis, Oregon Established 1957
The Corvallis Plant Materials Center (ORPMC) provides plant solutions for northwestern California, western Oregon, and western Washington. The Center’s service area includes the northern Pacific Coast Range, Willamette Valley and Puget Sound, as well as Olympic, Cascade, and Siskiyou Mountains of western Washington and Oregon. Heavily forested coastal terraces, steep mountains, grass balds, foothills, valleys, flood plains, woodland prairies, and Savanna vegetation in the Willamette valley and Puget lowlands typify the topography and natural vegetation. Wind and water erosion are critical problems on coastal dunes, roadsides, construction sites, dredge spoils, cultivated cropland, and logging areas. Water quality is a main concern in areas of concentrated livestock, farming, and urban activities. Degraded fish habitat, streambanks, and wetlands are in need of enhancement and restoration. The Corvallis Plant Materials Center’s primary mission is to develop new technology in plant propagation and establishment, seed production, revegetation, restoration, and erosion control, and to develop new plant sources for use in riparian areas, wetlands, and uplands.
