Event description

Join us for a meaningful journey to the heart of Lafayette's wetlands! In this hands-on workshop series, we’ll visit key sites to collect and observe Spartina alterniflora and other essential halophytes crucial for wetland restoration. Participants will dive into the fascinating world of native wetland seed ecology and our ongoing efforts to rejuvenate these vital ecosystems.

Led by local scientists and restoration experts, "Seed Keepers" offers guided sessions on seed harvesting and processing. You'll discover the critical role of local genotype seeds in strengthening our shorelines' resilience. This series not only educates but also empowers community members to play a pivotal role in conserving our coastal ecosystems.

Be a part of our initiative to build the region's first-ever community seed library. Together, we’ll ensure the preservation of our wetlands, one seed at a time. Join us in this collaborative effort to protect and sustain the future of our coastal landscapes.

All are welcome – Donations appreciated, though not required, to support a healthy Elizabeth River and our commitment to providing equitable access to our river programming
