David Bart and Jason Fritz will present on the basics of designing a native seed mix for wetland restoration. You’ll learn how existing site conditions (plant communities, hydrology, soils, etc.), restoration goals, and potential future conditions affect species selection. You will also understand how to calculate application rates for your unique project and species list. Additional topics include nurse crops, seed installation timing, and methods.
Online via ZOOM! (Registrants will receive a Zoom link before the webinar.)
