Volunteer Workday: Seed Collection Workday at Johnson Preserve
Join Legacy Land Conservancy at Johnson Preserve for a seed collection workday! Help collect seeds from several native prairie species and support our work to improve habitat for monarchs and other pollinators!
Date: Saturday, August 22nd
Time: 10am-12pm
Place: Lloyd and Mable Johnson Preserve – 4501 Platt Rd, Ann Arbor, MI 48108
Volunteers will be collecting seeds from a variety of native plants, targeting species that are important nectar sources for pollinators. Seeds collected will be put to use in Legacy’s seed mix that is used to increase pollinator habitat within our preserves. Volunteers will receive a small bag of seeds to take home with them as well!
- Dress for the weather and in clothes you don’t mind getting dirty.
- Wear a long sleeve shirt, pants, and closed toe shoes, regardless of the temperature. It will help protect from poison ivy, ticks, and getting scratched up while working outside.
- Bring a water bottle, bug spray, and sunscreen.
- We will be walking through the prairie in search of seeds to collect, so be prepared to walk though tall grass
Legacy will provide tools, work gloves, and bags for seeds, but you are welcome to bring your own.
