Native Plant Seed Collection
We will be heading out to collect seeds at two different sites this Fall and would love help! Learn more about seed collection and storage while helping us gather seeds for giveaways and supporting the Bee City Wichita mission. Supplies provided.
Participants are welcome to take some seeds home as well! Just remember to harvest responsibly.
Ethical Seed Harvesting:
-
Take only what you will use
-
Never take from the first plant you see of a species (look for abundance)
-
Never take more than half of one plant’s seeds
-
Only harvest from plants you know to avoid harming rare species
Saturday Aug 29th @ 9am:
Pawnee Prairie Park
2625 S Tyler Rd, Wichita, KS
Meet in parking lot at Plum Lee Trail
One of Wichita’s largest prairie restorations, Pawnee Prairie Park is a great site to wander. While there are paved trails, we will focus on open areas so expect hiking through tall grass with access to mowed trails.
