Native Plants, Seed, and Expertise for Restoration Needs
Successful restoration starts with the right materials. The Walker Basin Conservancy’s Native Seed Farm and Plant Nursery produces locally adapted plants and seed for projects across the Great Basin. Backed by conservation science and years of hands-on experience, we support land managers with both high-quality materials and practical expertise—helping ensure restoration efforts are effective, resilient, and built to last.

As the hub of the Walker Basin Conservancy’s plant and seed program, it brings together conservation science, propagation, and decades of land stewardship experience.
Container plant grow-outs
At our nursery, we specialize in growing native plants of the Walker Basin and surrounding areas.
Learn More
We grow container plants for restoration projects across the Great Basin and Eastern Sierra, with experience cultivating over 100 native species. The nursery has produced more than 200,000 plants to date and is expanding to a capacity of 600,000+ plants annually, positioning us to support partners and contract grow projects requiring plants suited to local site conditions.
Plant Propagation trials
For many of our species, we must conduct trials and experiment with different seed treatments and growing techniques before we see success

Our team applies years of hands-on experience to improve how native plants are grown for restoration. Because these plants are naturally adapted to survive in the wild—not in nursery conditions—we test and refine growing methods to help them establish more successfully when planted. This work is supported through partnerships with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Bureau of Land Management.
seed Collection & Supply
Our Native Seed Initiative works to address the need for climate appropriate seeds and plants by developing our own seed farm and collaborating with local stakeholders.
