Introduction

Welcome to the Species Options Tool. There are 47 species in the Interactive Database, but not every species is suited to every location, objective or site condition. The Species Options Tool takes answers to Where, Why and What questions and returns a subset of possible species candidates.

Why custom locations?

We have added GIS data to the Tool and if you input a specific location within the Peace Region, it will provide the following in the Report:

  • Whether your site is in ALR
  • Baseline information on soils and topography
  • An area (acres) calculation so that you can determine how much seed to buy (value can be used as input value in the Seed Mix Calculator)

Page 1. Location - Where are you seeding?
