CPC – Seed Collecting – Deer Park

June 12, 2024 @ 9:00 am - 11:30 am

Our first seed collecting trip is on Wednesday, June 5, 2024, 9am-11:30, at San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site. Thanks to Carter Clay for leading the trip. We will be able to collect from plants not found on the usual prairies around here such as the spring blooming prairie plantain (Arnoglossum plantagineum) and Monarda lindheimeri. Meet at the gate at Independence Pkwy & Park RD 1836. https://goo.gl/maps/LCd3ymXSSH9bXkScA

 

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.All seeding collecting opportunities are announced in the Coastal Prairie Conservancy’s monthly volunteer newsletter.  To get notification of future seed collecting trips, please join our volunteer newsletter email list and be sure to check the “Volunteering” box.  A separate seed collecting email list will only be used for notification of an impromptu trip.

This Google Form will be used to RSVP for all future seed collecting volunteer opportunities. Save the following link for future access: https://bit.ly/24seedrsvp .
