Whitebark and limber pine cones are collected by mountain national park staff in late summer and sent to a nursery for seed extraction by the fall. Extraction, air separation and propagation occur over the fall/winter and mature seedlings are grown in the nursery and delivered to the Parks or Field Units for fall planting two year after collection.

    Period of THE STANDING OFFER

    The Supply Arrangement has no defined end-date and will remain valid until such time as Canada no longer considers it to be advantageous to use it.
