NATIVE SEED DRIVE

This year, our Native Plants Program also launched our native seeds drive, which sources tree seeds from around coastal Louisiana to be planted and grown at our Restoration Headquarters in Violet. Seeds were collected by CRCL staff and community volunteers from various locations, stretching from Lake Arthur in southwest Louisiana to the Bird's Foot Delta in Plaquemines Parish. After being grown out for two years, these trees will be planted back in the same region the seeds were sourced from. Plants grow to adjust and adapt to their specific conditions, so planting trees grown from seed in the same region where the seeds originally fell will maximize their potential for healthy growth and survivability. Stay tuned for future opportunities to collect seeds and add to our native plants nursery!
