Audubon Upper Mississippi River is working to preserve and restore habitat along the St. Croix River at state parks and other conserved lands.

To help with the effort, join us for a couple hours of seed collection at Wild River State Park. Wild River's Prairie Care program is working to diversify 500 acres of prairie and oak savanna, collecting seeds from about 80 species of prairie plants each year to make seed mixes to spread after prescribed burns. No previous experience is necessary!

We will provide tick gaiters, collecting buckets, and safety information. Please wear sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, long pants, long sleeves and sturdy, closed-toe shoes. Bring a full water bottle and work gloves. If the weather is hot, light-colored, light-weight clothing is best. If it's cold, bring layers.

We will be walking off-trail into some beautiful prairie areas. Depending on the time of year, we may see harmless snakes.

From the main park entrance (a state parks annual or day pass is required) follow the signs to the Trail Center where the seed collection will take place.
