**Welcome to the PNR section of The Seedling Project!**
These images were taken as part of a soil seed bank study at Powdermill Nature Reserve, Westmoreland County, PA in 2021. They consist of photos of mature plants and seedlings, organized by family and genus. Most seedling photos are located within the genus level folders. The genus folders are linked to QR codes on the voucher specimens, deposited at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History.
