Enjoy a hands-on seed identification and collection training while enjoying a rare example of a sand gravel prairie. Previous seed collection is not required but participants should be able to identify at least a few prairie species, or be very interested in learning.

Seed will be used for further prairie restoration. Large quantities — of volunteers and seed alike — needed!

Another training and seed collection event will take place at the Sand Coulee on September 27, 2008.

This event is also part of the Vermillion Stewards program, volunteers participating in hands-on stewardship and educational programs throughout the unique Vermillion River watershed.
