welcome to the NextGen Council
Seed Packet page!

At Natural Lands, we believe that the future of conservation and preservation is in the hands of the next generation. Our NextGen Council unites passionate young leaders, innovators, and advocates who are dedicated to preserving and protecting natural spaces with an understanding of how critical ecosystem services are for the health of our region. Whether you’re here to learn more about the seeds in your seed packet, the NextGen Council, or join the Natural Lands movement, we’re excited to have you with us. Together, we are shaping a future where people and nature can thrive in harmony.

The Seed Packet Program is at the heart of this effort, designed to spread native plants and nurture ecosystems within our communities. By planting the seeds of today, the very same seeds Natural Lands has sown at ChesLenStroud, and Bryn Coed preserves’ meadow-plantings, we grow the preserves of tomorrow. Participants can cultivate a lasting connection with these preserved lands as native pollinator wildflowers return season after season– contributing to ongoing conservation efforts. With your help, we can work to restore native plant species, protect biodiversity, and sustain the future of Natural Lands.

Your involvement makes all the difference. Whether you’re passionate about conservation or simply love spending time outdoors, there are many ways to support Natural Lands and the NextGen Council.
