The public is invited to participate in a native seed dispersal event to be led by Students 4 Sustainability at Central Community College-Hastings at a city park.

The seed dispersal event is scheduled to take place 2 p.m., Friday Feb. 13 in the Hastings Dog Park on Elm Avenue just south of the Good Samaritan Society – Hastings Village.

The Hastings Dog Park has been established on the site of a former City of Hastings landfill.

The diversity of plant species helps establish a healthy vegetative cover.

The growth of plants on the landfill site is a capping technique called Phytocapping.

Phytocapping helps control the amount of water going into the landfill and allows carbon to enter the landfill. Carbon helps break down contaminants.
