High school volunteers take donor plants to start a wetland nursery. Wetland nurseries are designed to create a source of native plants to be used in the Tampa Bay estuary. Native species are taken from a donor site, transplanted to nurseries established by local schools and are used in wetland restoration projects. Some nursery plants then become the donor stock for upcoming projects.
