Wherever you source your seeds, ensure the proper permissions and permits are applied: fs.usda.gov/main/clevelan d/passes-permits/forestproducts. Questions should always have clear and reasonable answers. I collect nearly completely on private lands, always with permission from the property owner. Many species are grown in my own backyard from nursery plants. The remainder are under permit, with strict limitations that often turn the seed back over to the land owner or permit holder. Always do your research on any land you intend to collect on beforehand.

Question: Do you use sustainable and ethical seed collection practices?
Answer: Yes, native plant conservation is our goal. We work hard to collect seed from different populations each year, and only collect a small (10% or less) amount of seed from each plant population in order to ensure the long-term viability of native plant populations. Over the years we have been committed to working with native plant societies and different conservation and environmental advocacy groups to support the protection of imperiled native plants and plant communities, and we also work on habitat restoration projects that increase and enhance native plant populations.
