Agrecol Native Nursery

NRE owners have been working with Agrecol for nearly twenty years as a primary source of high-quality native seed and plants. Resiliency and true sustainability in ecological restorations can only be achieved by using the most locally-available genotypes of native plants and seed. Agrecol has one of the widest networks of native seed sourcing in the upper Midwest. Their seed is sold using Pure Live Seed (PLS) as a metric to ensure the highest seed viability and purity.  Agrecol has developed some of the best seed cleaning methods and equipment in the industry, which is critical when performance standards for native vegetation establishment are at stake.  Faster establishment of target native vegetation is associated with reduced invasive or non-native plant densities and reduced maintenance costs. NRE also utilizes Agrecol’s specialty bioengineering products – Native Vegetated Mat and Envirolok.
