First Foods Restoration: native seed collection

Come spend a summer morning in the meadow, collecting native seeds for First Foods by hand and helping restore this unique high-elevation ecosystem. Vesper Meadow staff Stasie Maxwell will discuss how Indigenous Worldview guides respectful harvest—honoring the plants, pollinators, and cycles that sustain us. This event invites participants to support First Foods restoration and connect with the land not just as a resource, but as a living relative.
