HSBC Workday 10/6/10

It was a lovely day for the HSBC, North America work team.  Team members collected both shade and full sun native seeds.  The shade seeds were broadcast into the shady areas of the Eric Pickell/Bradley Rd. Preserve and the full sun seeds were brought back to the HSBC, North America, campus and broadcast on the western slope of the large eastern pond.  Native seeds grow slowly to the eye because they spend the first two years building their root system, so be patient and your work will be obvious in 2013!
