Seed Hunters Wanted!

 

Top of The South Seed Hunter Application

We need: Ecosourced Seeds
WE PAY YOU TO HARVEST THEM

Ecosourcing is collecting seeds close to where they are to be planted. It’s an important part of a restoration project. It means the plants will be suited to local conditions and more likely to survive.

By using ecosourced native plants we will help develop and maintain the area’s unique local characteristics.

Seeds are used for various rewilding and regeneration projects within the Tasman/Golden Bay area.

 

Are you self-motivated, enthusiastic and above all wanting to make a difference?
