How do my objectives determine which plants and seeds are selected?
Plants and seeds are selected that have characteristics which provide benefits appropriate to your objectives. For example if your objective is creating or improving wildlife habitat, your selection list would include plants and seeds that provide food and shelter for wildlife. If your interest is creating better pasture for your livestock your list focuses on plants that supply specialized nutritional needs for your animal. Landscape plant lists and guidelines focus on the aesthetic qualities of your property. For hunting properties plants and seeds are selected that enhance shelter, browse and forage for game birds and mammals.
