Meadowbrook Monday

Seed Cleaning Social Indoor Volunteer Event

Indoor Volunteer seed cleaning social Al Leach Cleaning seeds at Meadowbrook nature preserve in order to restore wetland habitat. Cheers to our volunteers who spend their time helping the community

Join on Meadowbrook Monday January 23rd  we will be having a Seed Cleaning Social from 9pm-12pm. Volunteers will be INDOORS with our staff as we clean native seeds that will be distributed at a Shirley Heinze Preserve! As you can imagine, native plants are vital to the health and long-term viability of an ecosystem. Our stewardship team and volunteers take great care to cultivate native species and remove invasive ones (to allow the natives to thrive).

 

By participating in Meadowbrook Monday, seed cleaning social , you assist Shirley Heinze in removing the chaff and other plant material off the seed bodies in order to improve seed distribution and germination rates. Let’s prep these vital native seeds! Here is a list of Native Plants you will work with >> NATIVE PLANTS IN THE LANDSCAPE

 

Shirley Heinze will provide all necessary material and gear for the volunteers (we will host the seed cleanings indoors at the Meadowbrook office). We’d recommend bringing a reusable water bottle along.
