Seed-based webinar follow-up #9

You mentioned you have 200 species. Is that 200 species total for all sites, or 200 species in each mix?

We always aim to get about that many species in each mix. When we were really hopping back in 2000-2004, we were planting about 200 acres a year with mixes of 200 or more plant species. Today, we're doing smaller areas (focusing on other stewardship needs more than on restoration) and spending less time with seed harvest, so we've been closer to 150-160 species in our mixes.
