Native prairie plants and seeds -- Now part of RES    
With three decades of experience growing, harvesting and preparing seed, plants, shrubs and trees, Taylor Creek Restoration Nurseries (TCRN) produces the highest-quality native, local-genotype seed and plants available. Our seed is typically collected within a 150-mile radius of each of our nurseries. We track seed origins diligently and carry more than one genotype. Most of our seed is nursery-grown in beds started from seeds collected ethically on native remnants. We still do some wild seed collection to preserve and promote diversity, by contract with landowners, but our policy is to collect only a small portion of the seed present. Additionally, we provide ecological management including invasive species control on these sites to ensure remnants remain healthy and viable. We also specialize in local genotypes, so please call us with specific origin needs.

For more than 40 years, Taylor Creek Restoration Nurseries and AES’s mission has been to create ecologically-driven land-use solutions that are practical, economical, and based on the best science and technology. RES shares a very similar mission – a commitment to restore our nation’s land and waters with innovation and ecological integrity, to preserve the environmental balance for future generations. It was this overlap of mission and shared goals that lead us to join together, putting us in the unique position to take ecosystem restoration and mitigation to the next level.
