Designing and using native seed mixes
Many ecological restoration projects rely on revegetation from seed. This course discusses the steps for successfully designing and implementing a seed mix, from choosing appropriate species to preparing a planting site.
Topics
- Evaluate whether there are seed sources on site or in the landscape that could contribute to revegetation
- Design seed mixes so restored vegetation supports ecosystem functions and project goals
- Obtain adequate supplies of seed and learn how to handle this seed so it maintains its viability
- Prepare a site to be sowed
- Install native seed
- Manage sites following sowing to promote native seed establishment
It is strongly recommended but not required that students complete the Site Assessment for Ecological Restoration course before taking the other courses in the series, as it lays the groundwork for the subsequent courses.
