Summer Activities: Seed Collecting

(A post from Courtney Gill, 2009 Robert F. Betz Intern, and Julie Allen. Courtney & Julie have been busy all summer with various restoration activities, from seed collection and pollination to GPS documentation of species location.)



Recent species we've been collecting include prairie sundrops, meadow anemone, white wild indigo, belwort, white baneberry, jewelweed, broad-leaved puccoon, white trillium, pale-spike lobelia, marsh vetchling, smooth yellow violets, indian plantain and some sedges.


Thank you to the volunteers who have helped us collect bicknell's sedge, spiderwort and red bulrush this summer!
