Seed Collection

Landcare Services has been collecting and supplying Western Australian native seed to the mining, plantation, construction and nursery industry since 1990.  The majority of our current projects are for the mining industry, collecting local provenance seed for use in rehabilitation.  This is a key tool for mining companies striving to achieve species richness, plant abundance and completion criteria in rehabilitation activities.

 

 

Landcare Services have been involved in a number of seed salvaging projects prior to ground disturbance for construction in the mining and government sectors.  We are able to produce large amounts of seed in a short period of time when required.
