Seed Collecting Volunteer Opportunity
We’ll be collecting seeds from native plants from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm on Saturday. Take a leisurely stroll up the Bogus Creek Trail to collect seeds and learn fun facts about the mountain environment from the Bogus Team along the way! Be sure to bring water, wear a sturdy pair of shoes, gloves (the mountain team can provide a select number of gloves), & sunscreen for this excursion!
