Seed collection at Cherokee Marsh North Unit

Join Madison Parks and Friends of Cherokee Marsh for a large-scale seed collection event. This section of the park will have a prescribed burn later, so we're eager to collect a lot of seed from it now. Volunteers will help support ecological restoration efforts by collecting seeds from native plants in a single, focused session. This event is ideal for volunteers who enjoy hands-on work, exploring a natural area, and contributing to the long-term health and diversity of Madison’s parks.

• Collect seeds from designated native plants during the scheduled event.

• Follow guidance on target species, collection methods, and timing to ensure seed viability.

• Record collection information, including species, quantity, and location, if assigned.

• Return collected seeds to volunteer leads at the end of the event.

• Work safely and respectfully within the park alongside other volunteers.
