Each Fall EcoAction Arlington works with Potomac Conservancy’s Growing Native program to collect acorns and other tree seeds that help replenish the state’s supply of native seedlings. The collecting of native seeds supports the replanting of trees in areas that border our streams to prevent polluted runoff from entering our streams and creeks. Native seeds also ensure diversity of our trees, improve water quality and wildlife habitat. Our region loses 100 acres of forest each day, and we hope you’ll join us at Lubber Run Park on September 29 as we work to make Arlington’s environment more sustainable.
