Successfully Establishing Native Plantings

Establishing native plants from seed is not complicated when there is a plan in place. This presentation will cover establishment methods for a host of purposes ranging from restoration of prairies, glades, and savannas to wildflower meadows, wildlife habitat, and livestock forage. How do I kill the existing vegetation? Can I kill it without herbicides? Should my establishment method change based on what I want to plant? Do I drill or broadcast the seed? Are there any new ways to establish seed that I may not have heard about? Learn answers to these questions and more from Hamilton Native Outpost’s 40+ years of experience establishing native plantings from seed on thousands of acres.
