Tour and Tend: Seed collection walk to support Indigenous Gardens

  • Vesper Meadow Restoration Preserve 16534 Dead Indian Memorial Rd Ashland United States (map)

Moderate activity Off-trail walking in the flat of the meadow and options for some to walk on gentle hill-slopes.

Join us for a walk, a bid of weeding, and collecting seed from Yampah, Serviceberry, cherries, and other food-plants. You will be supporting efforts to restore native ecosystems and the Indigenous Gardens of the region.

We will collect seeds that will be used to replace non-native grasses at the Meadow with native grasses and forbs. These restored areas serve both pollinators and our efforts in partnership with the Indigenous Gardens Network, a Tribally-led partnership. These areas also serve as demonstration plots for educational events with youth and adult land stewards.

We will provide information on species identification, pollinators, restoration strategies, and perspectives on conservation land management.

Please RSVP for meet-up location, details, what to bring, etc. This event welcomes all, free of charge, and donations will be welcomed.
