The document discusses several native plant salvage programs run by counties in Washington state. The programs aim to preserve local plant diversity, supply plants for restoration projects, educate the public on plant uses, and promote environmental stewardship. Volunteers salvage plants set for destruction during development and hold them for public sale. This allows genetically local flora to be used in landscaping while saving landfill space. The programs provide public outreach, improve wildlife habitat, and have environmental benefits like supporting salmon populations. They cost between $30-60k per agency annually.
