Harvesting Louisiana Native Plant Seeds
October 12-13, October 26-27, November 16-17
Location: Several remnant coastal prairie sites on Hwy 165 and Hwy 90
near Jennings and Kinder (between Lafayette and Lake Charles, off I-10)
Description: Individual and group volunteers needed to collect native
Louisiana plant seeds at sites near Jennings, Welsh, Gueydan, Midland
and/or Kinder. Seeds will be used for future coastal restoration projects
to restore coastal habitat and regenerate food sources for wildlife.
Volunteers will work in tall grass so we advise you to wear long pants and
long sleeves. Orientation will include education on native plant
identification. Plant knowledge a plus but not necessary.
