University of Wisconsin-Whitewater recently issued the following announcement.
Collecting prairie seeds helps establish or bolster existing prairie areas in the Nature Preserve, or is used to establish native plantings across the campus landscape or donated/traded with local entities to provide a more diverse seed bank using local genotypes. Prairie seed collection starts in September and concludes in mid-November.
This is a great group activity for student groups and Greek organizations! To make an appointment for groups of 5 or more people, please email us with your affiliation, group size, along with times and dates that work best for you. All prairie seed collection sessions meet at the Hoffman Memorial Kiosk on Schwager Drive.
The restoration in the UW-Whitewater Nature Preserve helps to maintain a diverse array of ecosystem types by establishing and protecting native plant species and communities. We engage in various management activities in the Nature Preserve throughout the year.
We ask attendees to optionally register in advance so we can communicate any cancellations. Please review the available slots listed below and click on the button to sign up. For questions, email sustainability@uww.edu
