Connecting Indigenous seed supply with Australia’s growing restoration demand
SeedKeepers is building the coordination system that links Indigenous seed knowledge and supply with restoration projects across Australia.
Restoration demand is increasing rapidly, but native seed remains difficult to source at scale. SeedKeepers works across the sector to map availability, connect projects with Indigenous suppliers, and support the delivery of seed where it is needed.
We help you get the right seed for your project.
SeedKeepers operates at the intersection of Indigenous land management, native seed supply, and large-scale restoration delivery.
Supporting the development of scalable seed production systems
We help identify pathways to increase native seed supply over time. SeedKeepers works with partners to support seed collection, nursery development, and seed increase models that can meet growing restoration demand at scale.
Map native seed availability across regions
SeedKeepers can offer you a clear picture of what native seed exists, where it is, and how it can be accessed. By working with collectors, ranger programs, and local suppliers, SeedKeepers maps species availability, provenance, and potential supply across different regions.
Connect restoration projects with Indigenous seed suppliers
SeedKeepers coordinates the intricate connections between restoration projects and Indigenous seed collectors and producers. SeedKeepers helps match demand with supply, ensuring projects can access appropriate seed while supporting Indigenous-led land management and enterprise.
Only around 10% of Australia’s native plant species are currently available as seed for restoration, highlighting a major gap between what ecosystems need and what the market can supply.
NATIVE SEED FOR RESTORATION
Why this matters
Australia’s restoration ambitions are expanding rapidly, but native seed supply remains fragmented and underdeveloped. Without a coordinated system, many projects will struggle to access the seed they need.
SeedKeepers is working to bridge that gap — supporting both restoration outcomes and Indigenous-led economic opportunities on Country.
