Come help us clean and process seeds that will be used for planting across 67 acres this fall at Mounds View Grassland, Erbe Grassland, Swenson Bluff (Agaski unit) and other The Prairie Enthusiasts projects. We need hundreds of pounds of seed of 90 species to do so. These plantings are critical to our efforts to recover prairies on a large scale.

DIRECTIONS:
Meet at Schurch-Thomson Prairie (8624 Reilly Road, Barneveld, WI). MAP HERE
From the intersection of US Hwy 18-151 and County F (south of Blue Mounds in western Dane County), take F approximately 5 miles south. Turn right onto Reilly Road, proceed to parking lot and kiosks at the end of the road (past the barn). (Note: A half mile down F from 18-151, pay close attention to the road signs, for F turns to the right & the straight-ahead road becomes County Z. Stay on F.)
