Seedballs

The use of seed balls as a method of recreating native habitat in New Zealand is both innovative and exciting. Here in Southland, where trials with seeds of indigenous plants are under way, there is much interest from environmental organizations and individuals wishing to accelerate the process of habitat creation.

The method is being used in other countries as an effective tool for re-vegetation of degraded landscapes, particularly in semi-arid areas. Trials there have shown that the process is simple and effective and can involve a whole range of people, from the very young to the elderly.
