The Pollinator Partnership and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have joined forces to launch the Monarch Wings Across the Eastern Broadleaf Forest Project and they need your help! The Project is seed collecting throughout the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Arkansas and Missouri.They have put a call out for enthusiastic seed collecting volunteers in all 5 states to help identify and collect milkweed and other common nectar plants. As a seed collecting volunteer you will be provided with training and be making valuable contributions to supporting migrating monarchs.
No seed collecting experience is required but basic plant knowledge is preferred. Training and seed collection will start in 2017, but you can get on the list now. To sign-up as a seed collector please e-mail Amber Barnes will your name, city, state, and preferred email address. You will be added to their volunteer contact list and more information will follow soon.
