Oil & Gas · Industrial Reclamation
Reclamation Seed for Alberta's Energy Sector
Oil and gas operations across Alberta disturb a wide range of terrain — from cultivated agricultural land to native prairie, boreal forest, and peatland. Proterra Seeds supplies seed mixes formulated to meet AER and Alberta Environment reclamation criteria across all disturbance types, so your project closes out properly and your reclamation plan gets the vegetation it needs.
We work with pipeline contractors, environmental reclamation companies, oilfield construction crews, and hydroseeding companies from the Peace River region through to Fort McMurray and the oil sands, and across Central and Southern Alberta. Every blend is developed for the specific soil conditions, ecoregion, and end land use of the site.

Pipeline Reclamation · ROW Restoration
Pipeline Seed Mixes for Western Canada
Pipeline contractors and infrastructure developers across Western Canada rely on Proterra Seeds for proven pipeline seed mixes and ROW restoration blends. Whether the scope is a new mainline corridor through native grassland, an integrity dig re-seed, or a transmission corridor restoration, our mixes establish quickly, stabilize disturbed soil, and support long-term reclamation certification. We comply with landowner specifications and regulatory requirements across Alberta, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan.
Native Grass Mixes
Custom native grass seed blends formulated for pipeline corridors — matching regional species composition, supporting soil stabilization, and integrating with surrounding ecosystems across prairie, parkland, and boreal zones.
Erosion Control Blends
Fast-establishing erosion control mixes trusted by hydroseeding contractors across Western Canada — designed for trench lines, slopes, stream crossings, and disturbed soils that need rapid cover.
Agricultural ROW Mixes
Hay, pasture, and forage seed blends for pipeline rights-of-way crossing cultivated farmland — formulated to restore equivalent land capability and meet landowner and AEP requirements.
Boreal & Northern Blends
Seed formulations designed for northern Alberta and Fort McMurray area projects — built for boreal and sub-boreal conditions, short growing seasons, and the specific revegetation requirements of oil sands disturbance types.
Spec-Ready Blends
Pipeline company seed lists and AEP pipeline reclamation guidelines are routinely accommodated. We interpret the specification so your crew can focus on execution in the field.
Fast Distribution
Based in Ardrossan, just east of Edmonton — a central location for seed supply across Western Canada. We deliver seed to project sites quickly so your reclamation schedule stays on track.
Custom Seed Blends · Large-Scale Projects
Custom Seed Solutions Built for Your Project
No two reclamation projects are identical. Standard mixes rarely deliver optimal results across the variable soils, moisture regimes, and ecoregions that define Western Canada. Proterra Seeds works with each client to develop custom seed blends built for the specific demands of their site — from soil texture, pH, salinity, and drainage through to regional growing conditions and regulatory requirements.
From the semi-arid Brown Soil zone of southern Alberta to the Grey Wooded region of central Alberta and the Peace Country, our blends reflect the actual growing conditions of the region. For large-scale oil sands revegetation programs in the Fort McMurray area, we formulate mixes suited to boreal reclamation objectives, using locally appropriate native species wherever available.
- Native grass and forb mixes for boreal, parkland, and prairie ecosystems
- Erosion control and soil stabilization seed for slopes and disturbed sites
- Wildflower and pollinator habitat blends for environmental restoration
- Forage and pasture mixes for agricultural reclamation and ROW restoration
- Renewable energy site mixes for solar and wind project revegetation
- Commercial turf blends for civil and municipal projects
- Cover crop mixes for soil health and remediated land
- Wetland and riparian area seed for watercourse revegetation
What Goes Into a Custom Blend
- Site conditions — soil texture, pH, salinity, drainage, and moisture regime
- Climate & region — from southern grasslands to the Peace Country and boreal north
- Project specifications — pipeline company seed lists, AEP criteria, and client-specific species requirements
- Regulatory compliance — developed in alignment with the 2010 Reclamation Criteria for applicable land types
- Regional ecotypes — native seed origins and regional ecotypes sourced where required
Access & Species Range
With over 7,500 unique mix configurations and access to more than 1,200 native and cultivated species, including approximately 130 native grass varieties, Proterra Seeds has the range to build the right blend for any project — regardless of scale or complexity.

Renewable Energy Site Seed Mixes
Alberta's renewable energy sector continues to grow rapidly, and with it the need for quality seed for solar farm revegetation, wind energy site reclamation, and utility corridor restoration. Proterra Seeds provides custom renewable energy seed mixes tailored to each project's region, soil conditions, and landowner requirements.
Alberta's Code of Practice for Solar and Wind Renewable Energy Operations requires operators to develop approved conservation and reclamation plans — including written landowner approval for seed mixes. We work with developers, contractors, and environmental consultants to ensure the seed meets those requirements and supports long-term vegetation success.
- Native grass mixes that meet AER and Alberta Environment reclamation standards for solar and wind sites
- Pollinator habitat blends supporting ecological compatibility requirements on agricultural land
- Erosion control seed for disturbed areas around turbine bases, access roads, and construction zones
- Ground cover mixes compatible with agricultural co-use — meeting Alberta's "agriculture first" approach
- Support for post-construction monitoring and revegetation reporting over three or more growing seasons
Renewable Energy Seed Applications
- Solar farm ground cover and inter-row vegetation
- Wind turbine site revegetation and erosion stabilization
- Utility corridor and access road restoration
- Native grassland buffer zone and habitat restoration
- Interim reclamation between construction phases
- Final site reclamation to native grassland or farmland
