Make Seed Bombs to Attract Pollinators<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

WSU Colville Reservation Extension 4-H program is partnering and collaborating with Colville Tribal and Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Natural Resource programs \u2013 Environmental Trust, Range, Fish & Wildlife, & Mt. Tolman Fire Control –  to teach youth how to make seed bombs to attract pollinators. The youth also get to learn about wildland fire and the damage that it causes to the lands. The objective of this project is to promote environmental stewardship and awareness in youth by encouraging them to take an active role in helping the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have developed the Seed Bomb project as a form of citizen science, to help rehabilitate and rejuvenate the burned rangelands\u201d stated Linda McLean, Director\/FRTEP 4-H Extension Educator for WSU Colville Reservation Extension 4-H Program.  McLean went on to say, \u201cIn the summer of 2021, the Colville Reservation was ravaged by wildfire.
