We’ll provide all the event supplies for 100 participants. Once registered, please expect a reminder email on the Wednesday before the event with more information on how to access Arlington National Cemetery, our safety protocols and what to expect.

About Arlington National Cemetery
Arlington National Cemetery (ANC) has teamed with Potomac Conservancy program for more than a decade, allowing volunteers to access the cemetery to collect acorns, and other seeds. ANC Horticulture facilitates the Potomac Conservancy’s efforts by providing scouting information to the organizers: locations of tree species within the cemetery, areas of heavy seeding and other information. The Potomac Conservancy then propagates the seeds and plants the saplings at forest restoration sites throughout the Potomac River watershed. Over 3,000 pounds of seeds have been collected at the cemetery since 2007.
