ORGANIZATION: Center for Natural Lands Management
Please visit the new page to apply.
- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
Want to learn more about our plant propagation work? On the first Friday of every month beginning in February, join us at Shotwell’s Landing Nursery to help with sowing plugs. Volunteers will be sowing prairie plant seeds into small tubes of soil, which will be germinated and then planted back in the environments we're working on restoring.
This is a great opportunity to learn more about native plant species and make a direct impact on the environment, as all of these plugs will be used later on in our restoration projects.
Dates are February 2nd , March 2nd , April 6th , and May 4th from 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM.
Contact ssvolunteers@cnlm.org or visit southsoundprairies.org for more information or for any
questions!
