Planting Community Seeds
Milkweed Giveaway
As a direct result of the Lights Off, Fireflies On! campaign that started in the summer of 2023, an enhanced initiative around milkweed is in full force in Fannin County! On May 1st, expert entomologist and friend of the Chamber, Becky Griffin with UGA Extension, taught a class at the Chamber about the importance of native milkweed and everyone was able to stratify milkweed seeds to take home.
