Union County Adopt-a-Park Preps for a Colorful Spring
Student volunteers spend a chilly weekend morning preparing the cold ground for a new bed of native wildflowers and grasses.
Students from the Kean University Center for Leadership and Service spent a chilly winter morning last weekend spreading seeds and straw alongside a stream bed in Warinanco Park, in hopes of sprouting a colorful burst of native wildflowers and grasses this spring.
They also removed litter and debris from the area.
The “hard frost” seeding will help ensure that the seeds germinate properly when temperatures warm up, resulting in a lush, healthy habitat for butterflies and other pollinators.
