Canada’s National Tree Seed Centre

Canada’s National Tree Seed Centre, part of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, is responsible for collecting, storing, and distributing tree seeds to support forest conservation, research, and reforestation efforts. It maintains a diverse collection of seeds from Canadian forests, ensuring genetic diversity and seed quality. The Centre helps restore damaged or depleted forests and supports sustainable forestry practices by providing high-quality seeds to government agencies, nurseries, and forestry projects across Canada. Its work is vital for maintaining healthy forests, adapting to climate change, and conserving Canada's diverse tree species.
