The Ontario Plant Restoration Alliance focuses on collaborative seed conservation, and ecological capacity building to support habitat restoration
​
We work with co-operators across southern Ontario to advocate for plants, and the plan for diverse, and ecologically appropriate restoration projects. Check out our Seed Strategy Projects for a list of regions, species, and cooperators we are working with.
