Program Summary:

Native seeds are the bee’s knees! Using native seeds in re-vegetation efforts is essential to restoring native plant diversity and food webs, and creating resiliency in our special ecosystem. However often times, native seed is not available commercially – they are too expensive, or the available seeds are not ecologically appropriate. This is where you come in! Volunteers help our restoration efforts by hand-collecting a variety of species, including grasses, wildflowers and others over the course of the summer and fall. Staff monitors seed development ahead of our scheduled project, at a variety of open space areas, so the exact location of our project will be determined within a week of our project date.
