Wildlife Value: Virginia wildrye is palatable and nutritious forage for large game animals such as deer. Birds and
small mammals also forage for the seed and utilize the plant fibers for denning and nesting material. The seed is reported to be utilized by mallard and lesser scaup ducks when found in association with wetlands. Provides shelter to insects
Earth Sangha Inventory
Founded in 1997, the Earth Sangha is a nonprofit public charity based in the Washington, DC, region. The Wild Plant Nursery is the most comprehensive source of local-ecotype, native plants in the Washington DC region, and the region’s only facility dedicated exclusively to this type of propagation. “Local-ecotype” plants are propagated from local, wild, naturally-occurring populations and are well-adapted to local conditions and for wildlife species that depend on the local forms, such as pollinators. Inventory is updated on a weekly basis so number may not be accurate.
