TransPlant Seed Selection Tool

TransPlant is an advisory tool in selecting regionally appropriate plant species for erosion control, revegetation, biofiltration, and other highway planting situations. TransPlant takes into consideration factors such as elevation, rainfall, soil type and regional plant communities.

TransPlant is intended to supplement, not replace, local knowledge. Site visits to project locations are recommended.

Species included in TransPlant are primarily commercially available as either seed or live plants.

This tool is not appropriate for the restoration of wildland vegetation where genetically site specific species are the ecologically preferred alternative.
