The Natural Farmer | An Emerging Vermont Seed Partnership
By Brooke FleischmanIn response to the threats of climate change, there has been a significant increase in reforestation projects across the globe. In the northeastern United States, these projects address not only attempts at carbon sequestration but, more significantly, concerns for river health: water quality, invasive species, wildlife habitat improvement, and native plant diversity, which will all be impacted by a changing climate. With an increasing demand for locally adapted native plant

Our Seeds go to Svalbard! | Northwoods Stewardship Center
Last fall the Riparian Lands crew teamed up with the Statewide Seed Coordinator at Intervale Center to collect gray birch in the Champlain Valley and with our ECO AmeriCorps member Sarah Redman, here in Brighton, VT. Some of the seeds from both collections were later sent to the North Central Regional Plant Introduction Station in Ames, Iowa to be tested and stored long-term. These samples currently have a 96%-98% viability! We are excited to announce that another sample from those two collections is now being stored at the Svalbard Global Seed [Read More...]

Seed Spotlight: Salicaceae Family
Seed Spotlight: Salicaceae Family
You may have noticed that there is a bunch of fluff floating around in the air right now. This is because quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) is currently sending out seeds, and many other species in the Salicaceae family – such as shrub willow (Salix spp.), balsam poplar (Populus balsamifera), bigtooth aspen (Populus grandidentata), and eastern cottonwood (Populus deltoides) – are about to follow suit. All of these species release millions of seeds surrounded by tufts of long, soft, white hairs annually that are carried along in the wind to be dispersed [Read More...]
Heard about Hydroseeding?
Heard about Hydroseeding?
Hydroseeding is a direct seed application method that sprays large concentrations of seed on the land by using a trailer-mounted tank and sprayer system.The machine sprays out a slurry of seeds and water and sometimes (but not always) mulch and fertilizer. The sprayer is used to apply seed in a manner that minimizes the potential for movement of seeds from the site. This method is commonly used to quickly revegetate roadside excavation sites using conservation mix and grass seed. Although it is a more common use, this method isn’t limited to [Read More...]

Seed Collection Continues!
Seed Collection Continues!
With the seeds of spring-dispersed species ripening and falling throughout the past month, the Riparian Lands crew has had plenty of work to do, collecting, processing, storing, and broadcasting native tree seeds for a direct seeding project in partnership with Vermont Fish and Wildlife and the Connecticut River Conservancy. Silver maple was the main focal species for collection, with the goal of restoring a plot of land within the Johnson Farms WMA from hayfield to silver maple floodplain. Previously, the project area was mowed, treated with herbicide to control invasive reed [Read More...]
