Native Plant Rescue

What is native plant rescue all about?

Check out our video.

We rebuild ecosystems using plants that are from ecosystems

Plants that are not wanted.

Maybe they are in the way. Maybe they happen to be growing on a future development site. Whatever the reason, they could be facing an unfortunate fate of being destroyed.

Are moved to paces where they ARE wanted.

We move them to gardens, farms, conservation sites, etc. according to what our projects need.

PLANTS THAT ARE NOT WANTED CAN BE USED TO REBUILD ECOSYSTEMS

heres how

For property developers

Call us before you clear your land.


On new site developments, there are often many native species which can continue to thrive in a new location. 


Instead of destroying these plants through land modifications, our team can come to your site before digging begins, identify plants, then remove them. 


Typically, there is a 2 hour minimum commitment that we like to have, and although the more time we have for digging, the merrier, we work around your schedules. 

For landowners

You may have a new trail you are putting in, a garden that needs thinning, or maybe you are thinning trees things are just overgrown. 


Once they are correctly identified and dug up, we can purchase them from you.

 

Each year we search marketplace, kijiji, and check in with property owners for particular plants that may fit with a need for one of our projects. 

Plants get special care to keep our ecosystems safe

Careful identification

Careful identification

Careful identification

Self explanatory. We don't often use scientific taxonomy, but this is about the only place where it does matter to us.

Cleaning of roots

Careful identification

Careful identification

Invasive species can suck. Literally. They'll suck the life right out of a native ecosystem. So if there's any chances of them being around, this is what we have to do.

Rest and recovery

Careful identification

Rest and recovery

We do a lot of transplanting, so plants need at least 2 weeks to recover, all the way up to a full year.
