Prairie Seed Collection

Open Opportunity

About

Seed collecting provides an opportunity to learn about the prairie’s rich history and how to identify many of the plants while helping to restore park land to native prairies. Find a seed collecting event to participate in.

Volunteers collect seeds from August through October. Each season, over 65 different species are collected totaling at least 200 pounds of seed annually. With only fragments of Minnesota’s prairie remaining (less than 1%), these volunteers are critical to maintaining and adding new restoration sites to Three Rivers Park District.
