Seed Collection - Plum Creek Conservation Area, Crawford Co.

A wise man once said "Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant". Wow. That young man went on to be Robert Louis Stevenson, the author of Treasure Island. Much like protagonist Jim Hawkins in the 1883 novel, we will travel across a vast ocean (of invasive plants) to an island (of native prairie plants) in search of treasure (seeds). Scallywags and peglegs encouraged to attend. LOL

All ages and skill levels are welcome – dress appropriately for the weather, bring a water bottle and sturdy footwear and clothing to protect from brush. Events may involve full body movement on uneven ground and sometimes steep slopes. Expert instruction, protective gear, tools, and snacks will be provided. Together, we can make a big difference in a short amount of time!
