Indiana's Stewardship Opportunities for November 2008


Saturday, November 8
Kankakee Sands, Newton County
Seed Cleaning and Sorting at the Seed Barn

9 a.m. to Noon (Central)

As the 2008 growing season winds down, the last step before prairie planting time is to clean the seeds.  This involves scrubbing the seed heads against screens and sifting to separate the good from the not-so-good.  It’s also time to begin sorting and organizing the seeds for planting. This calls for good alphabetization skills and is a neat way to familiarize oneself with the names of many native species.   Please dress for the weather; we will be indoors at a mildly-heated barn. Hot apple cider will be provided.  Gloves and long sleeves are a good idea for working with the dry plant material.

 

Meet at the Kankakee Sands Seed Barn, located at 417 W CR 600N in Newton County.
