Landcare nursery managers within YAN are requesting regional landholders who have large numbers of mature plants, which are part of the YAN Climate Ready list, to consider collecting local seed when the seed matures in coming months. If you are keen to assist in this venture please email Kath.

The Box-Leaf Wattle is on the Landcare Climate Ready sowing list for our regional plant nurseries in MLG, BBLG and Yass.
The Box-Leaf Wattle is starting to display immature seed pods which should be ready to harvest in December-January.
The YAN web site has an easy to read Grassy Box Gum Woodland Seed Collection guide.
So if you have several Acacia buxifolia in your paddocks which are mature and preparing to seed, consider keeping an eye on those plants and collect local seed for your Landcare Nursery. Please email Kath for further information on seed collection techniques.
