Do you have native plant species you're looking to share or pass along?
The Ganondagan State Historic Site is working
towards removing invasive, non-native plant species from the park and replacing
them with native plants that are significant to the Seneca culture. This will
both promote biodiversity and help to keep invasive plants from coming back.
You can help by donation native plant, which allows us to keep the project
going on our limited budget!
If you have questions or are interested in donating
plants to aid in our Invasive Species Project, you can email Emma Kubinski at gshsconservation@gmail.com
Plants can be dropped off at
the Visitor's Center. Park hours- Tuesday-Sunday, 9-5
Desirable Native Plant
Species: If you have questions, you can email us at gshsconservation@gmail.com
