To submit a request for a seed sale or transfer, forward request details and owner's authorization in writing and the Tree Seed Centre (TSC) will complete the transaction on SPAR on your behalf.

Reserved portions of seedlots on SPAR can be accessed only by the seed owner. Surplus portions are available to all agencies to submit seedling requests (SRQ) against. If the seedling request is against Ministry (MoFR) surplus, the applicant can also approve the sowing request on SPAR. The TSC will forward an invoice for surplus MoFR owned seed at the current published seed price (see Ministry Surplus Seed Price Schedule). All other seedlots will require a purchase agreement with the seedlot owner prior to approval of the seedling request.

For each sale or transfer, the TSC prepares and forwards written confirmation to the seller and purchaser when the transaction is complete on SPAR.

Seedlot owners can transfer their own seed between available surplus and reserve portions, through the lot allocation screen on SPAR or by providing details to the TSC in writing.
