The genetic origin, diversity, and climate adaptation of native seed is an important factor in restoration success. The voluntary seed source origin label is a tool to increase the information available about a seed lot for end users to increase the quality of restoration projects across Canada. To use the labels for their seed lots, producers sign a production guideline agreement that will ensure high genetic diversity in the seed lot and limit the environmental impact of wild seed harvesting.  A list of producers that have signed the guideline document and take part in the program can be found below. 

If you are interested in using the labels, reach out to us.
