Local Leaders in the Field: Plant ID and Seed Collection at Leslie Groves North

  • leslie groves N 69-35 Snyder St Richland, WA, 99354 United States (map)

Let’s get outside and take a stroll through Leslie Groves North with site lead Debbie Berkowitz to see the many stages that take shape in a citizen led restoration project.  We’ll start near Snyder Street and walk north ½ mile through the project to Ferry Rd before looping back.  We'll hear about the project's origins and what it takes to maintain the site. While we meander through the planting, we’ll learn about ethical seed collection and dispersal strategies and also gather seeds to be used for future projects onsite and within our chapter.  Plenty of plant ID, both native and noxious, is on the agenda.  This event is open to anyone who wishes to join!  All botanical skill levels welcome.  

We will be walking on uneven terrain within the planting site.  Closed toed shoes and long pants are recommended.  The event will occur rain or shine.  As per WNPS policy, masks and social distancing are required.   

Leslie Groves North is an ongoing joint project between CBWNPS and Lower Columbia Basin Audubon Society members.  It came into being and continues to endure due to the dedication of Debbie and all who volunteer with her. Want to volunteer? Connect with Debbie here: secretary@lcbas.org
