This SPAR communication site is
intended for SPAR clients who want
to find out what’s new in SPAR,
learn more about how to use the Seed
Planning &
Registry System (SPAR) and new clients
who require access to the system.
The SPAR application consists of
the following main components:
Tree Seed
and Vegetative Lot Registry:
entry and maintenance of seed
and vegetative lot information
and queries.
Requests:
seedling requests, direct seed withdrawals,
cone and seed processing, testing,
and other services. Requests are
entered through SPAR and downloaded
to the Cone and Seed Processing System
(CONSEP) at the Tree Seed Centre.
SPAR guides the user through selection
of a suitable lot in a request using
the transfer rules found in the FRPA
Chief Forester’s Standards
for Seed Use.
Reporting:
includes generating SPAR reports
in pdf format via submission screens.
Data extracts can also be produced
in MS Excel (csv) format.
