The program below, on our Reseeding RI initiative, comes from the class offerings of the  Native Plant Trust.  The registration link takes you to their website.

In 2022, Rhode Island Plant Society (RIWPS) began ReSeeding Rhode Island, an initiative to increase the availability of ecotypic seed and plants within the state. In this session, you will learn from ReSeeding Rhode Island’s seed collector, Shannon Kingsley, about ecotypes and ecoregions, proper protocols for collection of wild seeds, and the types of species collected and grown by ReSeeding RI. Shannon will also delve into her experiences collecting wild seeds, the initiative’s partnerships with its wild seedbed growers, and the developing educational aspects of the project.

Please note: We do not make video or audio recordings of classes or programs available after the fact, because we believe education is interactive, with instructors and students building a community and culture of learning. Some programs may be recorded strictly for instructor-training purposes. Please visit this page to review this and other FAQs about our policies.
