Following up on our second episode covering the native tree stock shortage, we speak with Jessica Raspitha and McKay Burley, both of whom work at the new Akwesasne Native Plant Nursery in St. Regis, New York. Jessica is the Land Resources Program Manager of the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe’s Environment Division and a member of the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe, and McKay is the newest addition to St. Regis Mohawk Tribe's Land Resources Program as the Plant Nursery Technician. We discuss what it took to start a new nursery during the pandemic, what the goals of the Akwesasne Native Plant Nursery (ANPN) are, as well as the nursery’s role in preserving culturally-important species, like sweetgrass and black ash.
