Greenbelt Native Plant Center Beach Grass Harvesting and Processing

Volunteer with the Greenbelt Native Plant Center staff to help care for the diverse group of native plants we grow to be planted in parks and restoration projects throughout the City. Activities may include processing beachgrass (Ammophila breviligulata), or weeding, transplanting, moving plants in the yard and greenhouses for the upcoming spring season. Nursery staff and volunteers alike will meet at the parking lot of the Greenbelt Native Plant Center to discuss how we harvest and process before going out to the field. You will get hands on experience with growing native plants and nursery operation. Come dressed in sturdy boots or shoes, long pants, and clothing that can get dirty. Please be sure to wear a face mask and bring your own water bottle to this event. Space is limited and registration is required. Volunteers under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
