You will also need to register with Polk County Conservation: https://polkcountyiowa.volunteermatters.org/project-catalog/89 Polk County Conservation and the Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation welcome you to our annual fall harvest event! Under the light of the setting sun and rising Hunter’s moon, staff and volunteers will collect native prairie seed to be used in future plantings as a way to diversify and expand the tallgrass prairie ecosystem. Collecting seed from plant species ready to harvest for future habitat restoration sites is an effective way to help protect this unique and important habitat. Following the harvest, we’ll gather around a campfire to enjoy a bonfire and s’mores to celebrate autumn in good company under the waxing moon.
