Growing Native! Seed Collection Event

Growing Native is a regional service project designed for volunteers of all ages to collect native tree seeds. The project is coordinated by the Potomac Conservancy and takes place around the entire Potomac River watershed with sites in Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania West Virginia and DC. Since Growing Native’s inception in 2001, nearly 56,000 volunteers have collected more than 164,000 pounds of acorns, walnuts, and other hardwood tree and shrub seeds.

These seeds have generated seedlings that are used to restore sensitive stream side lands. The seeds are processed by the state nurseries where foresters generate seedlings that are then transplanted to stream side forests.
