Explore the prairie of our Minnesota campus while learning to identify native species and harvesting seed. This is a great family event, perfect for all ages. Seed collection plays a vital role in the continued habitat management of Minnesota’s beautiful native prairies. The seed collected will be used back on the landscape as a part of a restoration partnership with Washington Conservation District to increase pollinator habitat at the Minnesota Campus.
This event is FREE. Please wear appropriate clothing for the weather; we will walk off trail, through tall grass. Please bring water and work gloves if you have them.
