Students recently explored seed dispersal at one of our Western End host sites, observing how plants spread and establish across the landscape. Understanding how seeds travel—by wind, water, and wildlife—helps guide restoration and habitat management efforts. Small seeds, big impact! #PROUDTOBEGST #KnowledgeableatGSTBOCES #GSTBOCESprograms
