Native Prairie Seeding Workdays

About: After many hours of seed collecting last summer and fall, followed by many more hours spent seed processing and weighing earlier this winter, it’s finally time to get all that seed on the ground! Join us to help plant a new prairie by hand casting seed: we’ll provide bags of seed for a given species, you’ll spread the seed across the site in areas that species is likely to grow – no prior experience is needed, all training will be provided.

*Registration is REQUIRED and space is limited* Sign up here. (You will need to create an account using our volunteer portal, MyImpact)

What to Know:

• All tools and training are provided.
• Bring drinking water and a snack if you'd like.
• In case of cancelation due to weather, a notification will be made via email and/or phone to participants who have signed up.

What to Wear: This job will require walking across uneven, frozen ground and potentially through snow, please dress appropriately for the weather, including warm gloves and tall boots. If conditions are appropriate feel free to bring snow shoes if you have them. 

Accessibility:

• Volunteers should be comfortable with walking on uneven terrain.
• View our Open Restrooms web page for bathroom availability. If there is no bathroom at a workday site, either use one before the workday or ask staff to suggest a nearby public location.
