Join us to collect local prairie plant seeds from the wild. Volunteers (no experience necessary) work to collect seeds which support numerous conservation programs in southeast Texas. This is your way to have a big impact and see 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 & run your hand up the appropriate seed head. Seeds that easily fall in your hand are ripe for collection.
We are combining seed collecting opportunities with other Coastal Prairie Conservancy volunteer opportunities in one volunteer email. To view scheduled seed collecting trips, please join our volunteer opportunities email list (
https://bit.ly/CPCelist); be sure to check the volunteer box. A separate seed collecting email list will only be used for notification of an impromptu trip.
As more seed collecting trips are scheduled, return here (
https://bit.ly/22SeedRSVP ) to RSVP. For more information, contact Lan Shen (Lshen@CoastalPrairieConservancy.org)
If you have not done so within this past year, please sign a CPC liability waiver
online or fill out the
printed waiver before participating in the field trip.
