Volunteer Opportunity of the Month

Collect prairie seed with Three River Park District.

Help restore the more than 800 acres of prairie in Three Rivers Park District by collecting native wildflower seed. Volunteers are needed to gather hundreds of pounds of seed for future restoration and enhancement projects. Seed collection allows volunteers to learn about the prairie’s storied history and how to identify many plant varieties common to the prairie.

Seed collection begins mid-August. Multiple timeslots are available and volunteers must be 16 years of age or older, or accompanied by an adult. A signed permission form is required of all minors.

If interested, call the Prairie Seed Hotline at 763.694.7848. For more information on prairie seed collection, visit the Three Rivers Park District's website.
