What Is the Local Seed Project?

The National Forest Company and Charnwood Borough Council established the Local Seed Project in April 2002, as a pioneering initiative designed to meet the growing demand for local origin trees and shrubs.

The project works with local landowners, seed collectors and commercial nurseries to create a supply of trees and shrubs of researched local origin for use in National Forest Tender Schemes, and planting projects within the East Midlands.
