Great seed collecting day!

Our annual seed collecting event was held Sunday Oct 13 2013 at Pleasant Valley Conservancy and Black Earth Rettenmund Prairie. A total of 20 people participated in part or all of the activity. The photo here shows the morning group just before work began. Kathie is demonstrating procedures and techniques.

Most of the morning collecting was done in various parts of Toby's Prairie, our 15-year old planted prairie. After lunch at the cabin, some of the group moved to Black Earth Rettenmund Prairie, where the afternoon work took place. We got lots of seed, the weather was great, and everyone seemed to have a good time.
