Seed Collection at the San Marcos Foothills - June 2024

We are excited to announce a Volunteer Seed Collection Day at the San Marcos Foothills Preserve and we would like to invite you to join us. This event is a great opportunity to contribute to the preservation of local plant species and to learn about the importance of seed collection for ecosystem restoration.

During the event, you will be guided by our knowledgeable staff and trained volunteers to collect seeds from various native plant species. The collected seeds will be used for future restoration projects in the preserve and other areas in need of ecological restoration.

This is a collaborative effort to support our local environment, and we encourage everyone to participate. No prior experience is necessary, and all ages are welcome. We will provide all the necessary tools and equipment, but we recommend bringing water, sunscreen, and a hat.

We look forward to seeing you at the San Marcos Foothills Preserve for this exciting and meaningful event.
