Anita B. Gorman Discovery Center Campus launches Adopt a Wild One Adoption Program and Eco-Stewardship School. This is a call for GREAT Volunteers (Green Ribbon Environmental Advocates (&) Tudors) for Fostering and training. This DC GREAT volunteer training program will offer personal and on line horticulture coaching about the Discovery Center’s native plant communities, natural habitats and the plants in residence on the campus . You choose the Wild Ones you adopt according to your interest! As a GREAT Volunteer / Foster Parent of a Wild One, you become the guardian/ caretaker for a particular plant, shrub or tree on the campus.
You will receive a personalized adoption certificate, fact sheet about the history of your selection, its function and attributes as well as become involved with its care management. Your name will be posted as one of our GREAT Volunteers caring for The Anita B. Gorman Discovery Center’s Campus. If you enroll in the Eco-Stewardship School, you will have an opportunity to choose which 25 difference species of Wild Ones you wish to study and promote on the campus. This is a two-year foster care commitment that includes hourly volunteer recognition and hourly minimums for certification.
Specific horticulture knowledge will be required to graduate. Eco-Steward School Graduates will receive special recognition as part of our Eco-Steward School Honor Roll! Your Eco-Steward School Certificate of Knowledge will list your horticulture areas of expertise. It is a customized program fitted to the needs of the flora within the boundaries of the Anita B. Discovery Center's Campus.
As a graduate of this program you will have, a working knowledge as Wild One Care Manager for these plants, their specific care and as Eco-Steward School alumni, you will be encouraged to promote the eco- benefits of the specific plants you studied during your training.
