Presentation: Restoring upland ecosystems; Monthly Meeting September 17, 2009

Nancy J. Bissett of The Natives, Inc. will be presenting "Restoring upland ecosystems: turning pasture into flatwoods, sandhills, and scrub by seeding and planting".

Since 1994 wiregrass, other grasses, sedges, wildflowers, and other herbs and shrubs have been successfully seeded on site up to 200 acres. We will discuss various techniques, variabilities encountered, and results.
