Hi, my name’s Brooke, and I love native plants.

I’m the founder of Littoral Ecological Restoration Specialist, with over 20 years of experience in seed collection and ecological restoration. My focus is on restoring resilient landscapes—ensuring the required genetic diversity and integrity, one seed at a time.

I’ve learned to move with the seasons, reading the land and listening closely to the subtle rhythms of plant life. My approach to seed collection is careful and responsive, always with conservation and genetic breadth at the forefront. I aim to leave as little impact as possible while capturing the full diversity of any given Plant Community Type.

Without our forests, all the cute—and not so cute—critters have nowhere to live. That’s why I’m so passionate about building healthy ecosystems that can thrive far into the future.

I work with landholders, councils, and conservation organisations to restore threatened ecological communities and support ethical land management. Every site is different—so I tailor my work to what’s actually needed on the ground, not just what’s on paper.

This business was born from a lifetime of quiet, determined care—for plants, for place, and for doing things the right way, not the easy way. The kind of work that comes from thinking like a seed.

I understand the systems, processes, and obligations that come with working in the ecological space—and I know how to work within them while still delivering outcomes that are meaningful, site-sensitive, and science-backed.

Part of my mission in starting this business was to make ethical, ecologically sound seed collection more accessible within the industry. By branching out on my own, I’ve created space to offer not just services, but also education—supporting landholders, community members, and professionals alike to deepen their understanding of native plant conservation and restoration.

If you’re looking for someone who brings deep care, attention to detail, and grounded ecological knowledge to your restoration project, I’d love to hear from you.
