Environmental Concern is pleased to announce the new Eastern Shore Seed Stewards program! The Eastern Shore Seed Stewards initiative is an extension of the Seed Stewards for Monarchs program. EC is educating the community about growing native plants; plant identification; and native plant seed harvesting. Seed Stewards collect seeds to propagate and grow in their gardens, and donate a percentage of their seeds to EC. Your participation will increase habitat for all native creatures that need the food, cover, and protection that the native plants provide on shorelines and in rain gardens, pollinator gardens, and wetlands.

Seed Stewards communicate by email, virtual education sessions, and social media. Seed Stewards also network with each other to share helpful suggestions and tips for successful seed harvesting.
