The Prairie Committee is seeking volunteers to partcipate in a Seed Collection Opportunity for the Town of Winchester Prairie Project. We are hoping to gather prairie flower seeds to plant in the Town’s new prairie project area. The prairie flower seeds are the most costly to purchase and seed collection at events such as listed below will provide some flower seeds at no cost. We will also get to experience a successful, well-established prairie! 

Seed Collecting Workshop at Gottfried Prairie

Oct 18 (Rain Date: Oct 19) | 9-12 noon

400 University Dr, Fond du Lac

Gottfried prairie is a hidden gem: a successful 50-acre prairie restoration adjacent to the UWO Fond du Lac campus. Most of the species originated from the last remaining prairie remnants around Fond du Lac County. Bring small paper bags, small snips, light gloves, and a sharpie marker. A limited number of supplies will be available. This is a free event sponsored by Gottfried Prairie & Arboretum and Wild Ones Fox Valley Area Chapter.

Please contact the Town office if you are available and would like to participate. (920) 836-2948. Carpooling may be an option. 

Thank you!
