Native Seed Collection at Vermillion River Linear Park – with Friends of the Mississippi River
Gathering the seeds of native plants in order to be able to restore other areas to more natural habitats is important work. It’s also a very enjoyable and educational activity. Come and learn more about the native plants in our area parks.
After a brief introduction and training, volunteers will collect native prairie seeds on the restored sandy-soil prairie. The FMR land conservation team will redistribute the seed to areas of nearby Vermillion Falls Park that have lower plant diversity. This seeding will help improve habitat for pollinators and grassland birds.
All are welcome, however capacity is limited, and registration is required. All supplies and training will be provided, and volunteers will work closely with FMR staff. This event is part of the Vermillion Stewards program, engaging Vermillion River Watershed residents to learn about the local watershed while working to protect and enhance its unique natural resources.
Space is limited, so sign up today!
