VSP: Seed Collecting at Deer Park Lawther Prairie
December 28, 2024 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Join the Coastal Prairie Conservancy to collect local prairie plant seeds! Volunteers work to collect seeds which support numerous conservation programs in southeast Texas, and no experience is necessary. These volunteer opportunities have a tremendous impact on regional conservation efforts, and volunteers are invited to visit prairies not generally open to the public.
Seed collecting is a leisurely way to enjoy the prairie and learn prairie plants. Walk with a companion in the prairie and run your hand up the appropriate seed head. Seeds that easily fall in your hand are ripe for collection.
Meet at 1222 E. Purdue Ln, Deer Park, TX 77536.
