About the event
Join us to collect seeds in one of our treasured remnant prairies, a favorite activity for many of our volunteers. Our natural areas staff will demonstrate how we clip and catch the seed heads and teach you to identify the right species of plant. This activity will allow volunteers to space themselves and work safely. We will also unveil a new interpretive sign installed on the wooden overlook. The donor of this sign will be on hand as well.
Directions: In Loda, turn left on Jefferson St (210N) then right on Mulberry St. Follow signs to Pine Ridge Cemetery. Park on road south of the cemetery and walk the mowed path NNE to preserve. The address is Pine Ridge Cemetery, Loda, IL 60948.
What to Bring: Appropriate clothing – long pants and shirt, work shoes, gloves, and bug spray. Tools will be available and cleaned but feel free to bring your personal tools (hand clippers).
