Native Grass Seed Production

Environmental restoration activities nationwide increasingly rely on the availability of native plant materials.  Planting with native species is critical for the maintenance of biodiversity of plant and animal communities and the protection of threatened and endangered species from the adverse effects of invasive exotic plant species.  Such plantings are key components of riparian zone protection, wetland enhancement, and erosion control.  They provide important soil stabilization and habitat enhancement features associated with livestock management, road repair and decommissioning, and landslide stabilization.

E&S Environmental Restoration, Inc. is involved in multiple facets of environmental protection, enhancement, and restoration.  These efforts include the production of native seed for federal agency restoration activities.  Working in close collaboration with west and east side growers, E&S produces many thousands of pounds of native seed and weed-free straw annually.  Although most is purchased by Federal agencies, the remainder is now made available for sale to other entities.
