Free wildflower seeds!

DCR's Growing Wild program is entering its 5th year, and the program has been growing wildly! Join Patrick Lindquist, DCR's program coordinator, for a discussion on pollinator habitats and their role in fostering a more biologically diverse and sustainable future. We'll highlight the positive outcomes Growing Wild has achieved across the Commonwealth and within DCR over the past five years, reveal exciting developments ahead, and share how you can be a part of the Growing Wild Movement!

DCR is Growing Wild for Pollinators by enhancing our landscapes to benefit pollinators and the environment. For the past few years, DCR staff have been installing pollinator gardens, managing meadows to enhance native plant diversity and converting portions of lawn into low mow zones. These habitats are installed and maintained following DCR’s Pollinator Habitats and Gardens Best Management Practices and with the support of DCR staff, partners and Friend’s groups.
