Restoring Virginia's Watersheds

Seedling Survival- 2008

In the spring of 2008, youth planted 24,620 hardwood seedlings to help restore Virginia's watersheds. After one month, 79% of seedlings were still alive. A pre/post-test revealed students had an 81% knowledge gain on how to handle seedlings before planting. This project was supported by grants from the US Fish and Wildlife Foundation, and the Virginia Forestry Educational Foundation.

Here are the results of their seedling survival survey one month after planting:
