In January 1997, the Sierra Vista City Council
formed The Plant Sciences Task Force. This task force was
established to address the native plant challenge associated with area
development.
The Task Force soon identified the need for a plant
salvage yard to temporarily house native plants displaced by improvement
projects. |
