[PCA] Planting Seeds from Bear Scat Improves Woody Plant Germination

[Lisa Feldkamp]

Hi,

I thought you would all be interested in this story on Cool Green Science about how the Rocky Mountain National Park greenhouse is seeing better outcomes for plants like Oregon grape and chokecherry when they are planted from bear scat: http://blog.nature.org/science/2017/05/10/what-happens-when-you-plant-pile-bear-scat/

One exceptionally rich sample produced 1,200 seedlings that will be planted around the park, especially to re-green disturbed areas.

Full disclosure – I work for the Nature Conservancy. Thank you!

Cheers,
Lisa
