Premium Native BC Dryland Grass Mix for Reclamation & Restoration

Stump Seed Mix is a carefully formulated 7-species blend of native British Columbia dryland grasses specifically designed for reclamation, restoration, and erosion control projects. Featuring indigenous species adapted to BC's dryland ecosystems, this premium mix establishes resilient, low-maintenance vegetation on challenging sites including disturbed land, slopes, wildlife habitat areas, and sensitive ecosystems. Ideal for environmental restoration, mine reclamation, roadside stabilization, and native pasture establishment.

Key Features:

• 100% Native BC Species - Seven indigenous dryland grasses adapted to local ecosystems
• Drought-Resistant Genetics - Thrives in low-moisture, non-irrigated conditions
• Superior Erosion Control - Deep roots stabilize soil on slopes and vulnerable areas
• Wildlife Habitat Enhancement - Provides forage and cover for native species
• Low Maintenance - Once established, requires minimal inputs or management
• Ecosystem Restoration - Restores native plant communities and biodiversity

Premium 7-Species Native Blend:

• 35% Bluebunch Wheatgrass - Iconic BC native, exceptional drought tolerance, deep-rooted, excellent wildlife forage
• 15% Slender Wheatgrass - Native cool-season grass, good erosion control, tolerates alkaline soils
• 15% Rocky Mountain Fescue - Native fine fescue, shade-tolerant, excellent for diverse sites
• 12% Annual Ryegrass - Rapid establishment, nurse crop for slower natives, erosion control
• 10% Idaho Fescue - Native bunchgrass, drought-tolerant, important wildlife habitat species
• 10% Sandberg's Bluegrass - Native early-season grass, fills ecological niches, wildlife value
• 3% Junegrass - Native fine grass, completes diverse plant community, wildlife forage

Native Species Advantages:

• Genetically adapted to BC climate, soils, and precipitation patterns
• Superior drought tolerance for dryland and non-irrigated sites
• Deep, extensive root systems prevent erosion and improve soil health
• Supports native pollinators, birds, and wildlife populations
• Low maintenance once established - no fertilizers or irrigation needed
• Restores ecological function and biodiversity to disturbed sites
• Complies with native species requirements for environmental projects

• Sensitive Site Revegetation - Environmentally protected or regulated areas
• Native Pasture Establishment - Low-input grazing on dryland range
• Riparian Area Restoration - Stabilize and restore streamside vegetation
• Wildfire Recovery - Re-vegetate burned areas with native species

Erosion Control & Soil Stabilization:

• Deep-rooted native grasses anchor soil and prevent movement
• Rapid establishment from annual ryegrass nurse crop
• Long-term stability from perennial native species
• Excellent for slopes, cuts, fills, and vulnerable areas
• Reduces sediment runoff and protects water quality
• Creates permanent vegetative cover on disturbed sites

Wildlife & Ecological Benefits:

• Provides high-quality forage for deer, elk, bighorn sheep, and other ungulates
• Offers nesting habitat and cover for ground-nesting birds
• Supports native pollinators and beneficial insects
• Restores native plant diversity and ecosystem function
• Creates corridors and connectivity for wildlife movement
• Enhances biodiversity on reclaimed and restored sites

Seeding Guidelines:

• Seeding Rate: 25-30 lbs per acre for reclamation; 30-40 lbs for erosion control
• Coverage: Each 40 lb bag covers approximately 1-1.5 acres
• Planting Depth: 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep
• Best Timing: Fall seeding preferred (September-October); early spring also suitable
• Soil Preparation: Minimal disturbance; light scarification for seed-to-soil contact
• Establishment: Annual ryegrass provides quick cover; natives establish over 1-2 years

Ideal For:

• Environmental Consultants - Native species for restoration and reclamation projects
