Autumn Seed Collection Workday at Watkins Lake State Park

Description

 Friends of Watkins Lake State Park (FoWL), Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) and Washtenaw County Parks and Recreation. Volunteers will work together to collect native seeds to plant in the bare land where invasive shrubs have been removed. This work will enhance the work being done to open up oak forest and prairie transition areas on-site.

What to Wear and Bring: Please dress for outdoor work, wearing long pants, long-sleeve shirt, work boots, and sun protection. Bring layers to dress for the weather. For wetland sites, waterproof boots are recommended. To prevent the spread of invasive species, ensure all gear is free of mud and seeds. Work gloves, eye protection, hand tools, water and snacks are provided. Bring any medication you may need. Contact friends@watkinslake.online or 734 883-7010 to register.
