Collecting Prairie Coreopsis Seeds

 

Today I drove north and west to the Weaver Dunes Nature Conservancy site. With the help of 14 other people we walked through the prairie (and the poison ivy) collecting seeds. We even found a ground cherry which I thought was pretty cool. One guy found two snake skins that had been shed quite a long time ago. We had nice cool weather for our work. One family brought two kids under the age of five and I liked that. One kid found part of a deer antler. This is a remnant prairie. When the DNR does butterfly surveys they come here because of all the butterfly varieties that are found here. This is a really special place.
