Seed Collection at the Sand Coulee/Rare Prairie

Enjoy a hands-on seed identification and collection training while enjoying a rare example of a sand-gravel prairie. Volunteers will be working in the newest addition to Sand Coulee Scientific and Natural Area. Seed will be used for further habitat restoration. Large quantities — of volunteers and seed alike — needed!

Previous seed collection is not required — all abilities and groups are welcome. This activity is very detail-oriented, and generally best suited for teenagers and up.
