Major Activities

Activity 2

Wild Plant Nursery:Propagation from the wild of about 250 plant species native to the greater Washington, DC, region for use in local ecological restoration projects. All stock is local ecotype (propagated directly from local wild native-plant populations). Our plants are used in our own projects and in those of other nonprofits, friends of groups, individual restorationists, and government agencies. During 2012, about 15,500 native trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants were distributed from the nursery to local natural areas.

Activity 3

Meadow Restoration:Collaboration with the Bureau of Land Management and the Fish and Wildlife Service on native-meadow restoration. At the BLMs Meadowood Recreation Area, we worked with BLM staff to devegetate 4.25 acres of a 17-acre field dominated by exotic fescue grass; we then replanted with about 20 native meadow species. We direct-sowed some species, using local, wild-collected seed; we also installed about 4,400 plants from our nursery. At the FWSs Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge, we hand-pulled invasives on our 12.5-acre restoration site; we also organized herbicide application for about 2.5 acres of the site, and conducted repeated hand-mowing of another 2.5 acres, in a regimen designed to favor the natives over the invasives.
