Anderson County Dog Park Seed Collection

Seed Collection at Anderson Dog Park

Sign-up is Required: https://bttr.im/7h4o4

Join our Natural Areas staff for a morning collecting seeds in various habitats – prairie, woodland, oak savanna all across the County at different parks each week. Seeds are collected to plant and enhance lands in other natural areas for pollinators, wildlife, and land restoration. Join us for what will be a unique and rewarding experience. No prior experience is needed. All tools and training will be provided. Children are welcome if chaperoned. Groups (students or other) need to contact staff directly to register and talk over logistics.

As a note - like last year we are holding several seed collection events on the same day at different locations. Please make sure you know which event you are signed up for before heading out!
