Native Seed Collection Workshop

Native Seed Collection Workshop

Saturday 10/19/24
9:00 am - 12:00 pm

Take a piece of the Gottfried home with you! The Gottfried Prairie is a hidden gem: a successful 50-acre prairie restoration. Most of the species originated from the last remaining prairie remnants around Fond du Lac County. This workshop is great for landowners who wish to collect prairie seed for planting on their own property.

This is a free event sponsored by the Friends of the Gottfried Prairie & Arboretum and the Wild Ones Fox Valley Area Chapter.

The first part of the session involves collecting seed in bags. Following seed collection the seed will be sorted and distributed amongst the participants. Bags will be supplied. Participants should bring a small snips or pruner and sharpie marker if they have one. A limited supply will be available.

Workshop leaders: Margie Winter and Shannon Davis-Foust

Meet at the Gottfried shelter located in the east parking lot adjacent to the former UW Oshkosh, Fond du Lac campus.

IN THE EVENT OF RAIN, THIS WORKSHOP WILL BE RESCHEDULED. Seeds cannot be collected wet. Rain date would be Sunday, October 20th.
