Volunteer! Gathering Seeds

The great marsh ecosystem at Beverly Shores

Beverly Shores Gathering Seeds

gathering seeds in the great marsh ecosystem at Beverly Shores

Calling on Beverly Shores volunteers to assist with gathering seeds from several plant types at Beverly Shores Project Area! The purpose of seed gathering in the Great Marsh ties in with our restoration efforts that creates a corridor of habitats for our native pollinators. Which is the backyard of those who live in Beverly Shores! Plus this is also great opportunity to spend a few hours soaking up Vitamin D (nature’s medicine).

Drop-in on Friday, September 30th  between 9am-12pm. During this time, you’ll get to experience The Great Marsh’s unique wetland habitat that helps purify water before it enters Lake Michigan.

 

We will meet at the intersection of Beverly Drive and Wells RoadParking will be available on the south side of Beverly Drive.
Please feel free to stay as little or long as you’d like! We will provide all the necessary equipment, water, and snacks during this time!
Due to the wet terrain with tall grasses we ask that you dress in long pants, long sleeves, and tall boots.

 

Please RSVP Below! There is a max of 10 volunteers.

Thank you to all volunteers that lend a hand with our restoration efforts! You are greatly appreciated.
