This Fact Sheet gives guidance regarding the use of native plant materials for revegetation of industrial developments in Alberta.

A native plant is defined as a species occurring within its historic range or in an extension of that range bounded by the dispersal potential of the plant and under the condition that the extension of that range is not known to be related to human activities.

The use of native species should be consistent with local and/or regional land use plans/objectives and with existing or surrounding vegetation. The publication,
Native Plant Revegetation Guidelines for Alberta, (Native Plant Working Group, 2001)
should be consulted for more information.
