This New England Wild Flower Society class on September 30 from 10 – 2 at Garden in the Woods studies the sustainable process of seed collection from a rare-plant population, as regularly conducted by members of the New England Plant Conservation Program (NEPCoP) and Plant Conservation Volunteers (PCV) Program. The session begins with analysis of the protocols for seed collection of New England’s most imperiled species, followed by a visit to Callahan State Park for a mock field exercise. Apply for the PCV Program after this class to sharpen your skills and use them to protect New England’s native plants! Instructor is Michael R. Piantedosi, and the fee is $53 for NEWFS members, $64 for nonmembers. Register at www.newenglandwild.org.
