Reclamation of industrial sites in Alberta’s forest settings requires the re-establishment of self-sustaining boreal forest ecosystems comprising native forest plant species. Considerable work has been done recently in northern Alberta to develop efficient methods for harvesting and extracting seeds of native species. This technical note outlines protocols for seed collection and extraction of Fireweed, Showy aster and Canada goldenrod.
