Volunteer Seed Collecting + College Park Prairie
SaveOurPrairie.com - Help us save Deer Park Prairie (formerly College Park Prairie).
www.PrairieSeedCo.org - Prairie Seed Council.
Here is the latest update of our seed collecting activities. Please join us to collect seeds and at the same time experience the prairie. We are a collaborative venture with the goal to increase the amount and variety of coastal prairie plant materials including seeds.
We are in the midst of a two year, intensive seed collecting effort to provide seeds for urban pocket plantings, volunteer grow outs, and most importantly provide source material for seed production at a large scale.
