Fall Stewardship Challenge Volunteer: Native Seed Collection

Step into the heart of TWC’s prairies and meadows to gather the seasons ripe native seeds ready to bring new life to restoration projects. This year’s bounty of seeds will be used to establish the future prairie at Murray Preserve, ensuring plants are adapted to our local climate and soils.

By sourcing local ecotypes, we strengthen the long-term resilience of our restoration work, support a diversity of pollinators, and preserve the genetic heritage of our region’s native flora. This is conservation at its most grassroots—quite literally—where every handful of seed has the power to shape the landscape for decades to come.

All collection bags and tools will be provided. Dress for walking through tall grasses and uneven terrain.
