Help with seed collection while enjoying the prairie grasses and wildflowers of this dry sand prairie with wonderful views of the Mississippi River!

Seed collection is a relaxing and fulfilling way to help improve this unique native prairie habitat. By harvesting seeds ourselves, we keep the local genetic stock in tact and provide cost-effective seed to our prairie restoration programs.

PLEASE NOTE: Our fall-winter print newsletter states that this event is on October 15. The correct date is Saturday, October 16, 2021.
