Growing Native Public Seed Collection October 10, 2010

Join Potomac Conservancy for the annual Growing Native seed collection at Arlington National Cemetery. Spend the day at one of our nation's greatest landmarks collecting, identifying and bagging native hardwood seeds. The collection will take place on the grounds of Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, VA. Growing Native is a project, managed by Potomac Conservancy, that emphasizes the connection between clean water and healthy forested land. Each fall, thousands of volunteers throughout the Potomac River watershed collect native hardwood seeds, which are donated to state nurseries, and used to restore streamside forests along the Potomac and its tributaries.
