Description

These guidelines provide a clear, consistent and integrated information package about using native plant materials throughout Alberta where the revegetation goal is to re-establish a native plant community. The guidelines are not prescriptive; site specific circumstances, including landowner preferences and land use objectives, have to be considered when planning revegetation projects. It is recognized that programs involving revegetation using native species will continue to evolve with better science, technology and sources of native plant materials, and that revegetation approaches can be modified to fit different needs.
