Volunteer! Seed Collecting in the Great Marsh

Calling all volunteers! Shirley Heinze is hosting a volunteer session to collect seeds at The Great Marsh located in Beverly Shores.

The Great Marsh is a unique wetland habitat that helps purify water before it enters Lake Michigan, assisted in part by the specialized plants of the marsh. As part of our continuing restoration efforts to create a corridor of habitats for our native pollinators, we need your help in collecting seeds of several plant species.

• Protective waterproof knee-high boots or high-top hiking boots
• Long pants & Long sleeves
• Hat

We will provide all the necessary equipment (gardening gloves, insect repellent, TecNu, and sunscreen)

If you are new to the Shirley Heinze Volunteer Program, please fill out the Volunteer Application and Liability Waiver before the event. We will also have extra forms available on site.
