Wildlands Restoration Volunteers: Seeds - Button Rock LGBT+ Seed Collection
What: Join us for WRV's first LGBT+ volunteer project! This seed collection is an affinity project for those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and/or questioning, intersex, asexual or two-spirit (LGBTQIA2S+). This project in a gorgeous location just past Lyons at Button Rock Reservoir. It is just 3 hours long, and laid back in nature. Work will include hiking, sitting, squatting, standing, and bending.
Using native seeds in re-vegetation efforts is essential to restoring native plant diversity. Some native species are not available commercially, are too expensive, or the available seeds are not ecologically appropriate. Volunteers will help ensure the success of future restoration projects by hand-collecting seeds from a variety of native species, including grasses, wildflowers, and shrubs. You will work in small groups led by an experienced crew leader. All supplies will be provided by WRV and the partner agency.
