Seed Collection with Clean Lakes Alliance

Join us on Thursday, October 23, at Lake Farm County Park, where we will collect native seeds to create and restore native prairie spaces around our lakes.

How do native plants help the lakes? The more native plantings and prairie spaces we have near our water bodies, the healthier they'll be. Native plants have profound root systems that prevent erosion and soil loss, stabilize shorelines, slow and filter contaminated runoff before entering the lake, and provide invaluable habitat for our pollinators and wildlife. Seed collections are always a volunteer favorite because you can go at your own pace, do it solo or walk with a small group, and learn a new native plant or two along the way.

We’ll be meeting at Shelter #2 within Lake Farm County Park for this event. Please wear closed toed shoes and pants as we’ll be in the prairie, off trail. Long layers are highly encouraged to protect yourself from bugs/ticks/scratches. Dress for the weather! No experience necessary; all tools are provided!
