Seed Services for Reforestation, Reclamation, and Ecological Restoration in Alberta & BC

At Tree Time Services, we provide complete native seed solutions to support reforestation, reclamation, and biodiversity restoration (naturalization) across western Canada under the SeedTime.ca banner.

From native trees and shrubs to grasses, sedges, and wetland plants, we collect, process, test, store, and propagate high-quality seed — ensuring ecological integrity, scientific rigor, and regulatory compliance.

We operate one of Canada’s largest privately held collections of native tree and shrub seed, backed by Indigenous partnerships and certified facilities.

Indigenous Partnerships: We believe ecological restoration should also support cultural restoration.

  • Culturally significant seed collection
  • Knowledge-sharing on traditional plant uses and seed zones
  • Community engagement processes

These partnerships guide how and where we collect, ensuring respect for both the landscape and its people.

Facilities & Certification: We’ve invested in specialized infrastructure to maintain the highest standards:

  • Registered Seed Processing Facility – Licensed by the Government of Alberta
  • Seed Testing Lab – For germination, moisture, and seed weight analysis
  • Cold Storage – Refrigerated and frozen storage for long-term viability of often expensive seed
  • Regulatory Compliance Expertise – Alberta FGRMS, Crown land requirements, and USDA export standards
