Home and Garden America’s CEO Volunteers for the NDOW Seed Collecting Program
Home and Garden America has pledged its support for the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) Seed Collecting Program.
Incline Village, NV, November 22, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Home and Garden America, a company known for providing organic non-gmo seeds, has pledged its support for the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) Seed Collecting Program. Chuck Harmon, the company's Founder and CEO, has also personally volunteered to join the event.
"I'm very excited to participate in the seed gathering program this year. It's always a wonderful feeling to give back to the community," Harmon commented.
"Nevada has seen plenty of wildfire damage over the years. Northern Nevada, specifically, has lost a huge portion of its natural wildlife habitat—and the animals as well as the ecosystem are greatly suffering from the consequences. Restoration efforts are taking place but the current seed supply is insufficient. This is where NDOW needs our help," he went on.
NDOW holds an annual seed collection program where volunteers can help gather and preserve sagebrush seeds. Sagebrush is critical for the survival of many wildlife creatures in the Nevada area. The mule deer, pygmy rabbit, and sage-grouse are just some of the animals that depend on it.
"What NDOW does is really commendable. Home and Garden America has always encouraged the practice of saving and collecting non-gmo seeds, so we understand the importance of this program. We fully support NDOW's cause and we will give our best to the wildlife rehabilitation efforts," Harmon said.
The NDOW Seed Collecting Program will be held on November 22 and will begin at 9 in the morning. The location is set at Spring Creek on Parkchester Drive, behind the new Khoury's Fresh Market.
"Harvesting seed is quite easy so volunteers of all ages can participate. Work gloves and buckets will be provided for those who don't have them. Be prepared for cold weather by dressing in layers. Those who are allergic to sagebrush should not participate," advises a staff member from NDOW.
More details about the seed collecting program is available on NDOW's official website.
