In the Fall, volunteers collected a lot of milkweed seeds pods from around the county, Now the seeds are dried, we want to package them. Throughout the year, these packets are handed out for free to the public. Our goal is to increase monarch habitat, as their caterpillars are dependent upon this plant. No milkweed = no monarch butterflies.
What: During the event, we will be measuring seeds and placing them in small packs, then affixing labels. For anyone that helped last year, we no longer need to separate the milkweed fluff by hand. A past employee built a seed separator for us. We are hoping a couple of you can run this equipment, while everyone else packs the seeds.
Ages: For ages 16 and up, unless accompanied by a parent/guardian.
Waiver: Anyone under the age of 18 will need to bring a copy of our waiver signed by their parent or guardian. Find it at https://www.butlerswcd.org/volunteer
Parking: We have a large, free parking lot.
Snacks: We will have drinks and snacks available.
