Capital Native Nations Planting a Garden in Washington, DC

garden project

Capital Native Nations (CNN), a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization in Washington, DC focused on Native American and Alaska Native healthcare, education, and community support for the Greater DC area has entered into a partnership with the University of Alberta titled “Arramat: Biodiversity Conservation and Indigenous Health and Well-Being” to administer a research grant to strengthen the community members’ relationship between biodiversity and general well-being and health. The main focus of this project is to plant and maintain a garden in the middle of urban Washington, DC, over the course of the 2024 spring season. The gardening spot has been picked out and garden beds are waiting for seeding which will be happening in mid-March/April. We are happily accepting volunteers to join the fun.
