Native Seed Collection Course

This full day course will teach you all you need to know about collecting native seed. Seeds are the building blocks of revegetation, with seed as small as 1mm growing to 30m or more! The course will include the following:

• Licencing and approval
• Essential botany
• Collection best practice
• OSH
• Processing, extraction and storage

The course is targeted at community volunteers and students (TAFE/Uni) interested in furthering their knowledge. Morning tea and lunch will be provided. Please bring a water bottle, hat, long sleeves and closed footwear (there will be a walk into the corridor after lunch).

Course is delivered by Cassie Ingledew, an experienced member of staff at APACE.
