From 09/11/24 9:30 am until 09/11/24 12:00 pmVolunteers will help the Anacostia Watershed Society (AWS) to collect bags containing wild rice (Zizania aquatica) by waders from the wetlands by Langston Golf Course! For over 15 years, AWS has been collecting wild rice seed as part of our wetland restoration efforts in the tidal Anacostia River. The seed collected in the bags will be used for propagation in the Anacostia River in the spring of 2025 through mudballing (seeding) and the production of seedlings that will be transplanted in the river once they reach a suitable size. On this workday we will collect the bags by clipping the seedhead stalks. -
