Please join us for a native seed processing party and, if interested, chill-time to visit with your fellow Master Naturalists afterwards.

The Event will be hosted at Robert’s abode at 29 Ridgeview Drive just north of Conway (correctly located in Google Earth/Maps).

Seed cleaning section will be from 3pm - 5 or 6pm. We need to trim, shake, crush, sift, etc - Mtn Mint, seed box, sunflowers, coneflowers, penstemon, meadow beauty, mallows, thistle, bundle flower, and more that I have forgotten.

AFTERWARDS: visit/pool/food. Feel free to grub, quaff and bob around in the pool to cool off from the endless summer and your hard seed extraction exploits. Not required, but if you would like to show off any mad culinary skills, feel free to bring a grubby or quaffy something to share. Significant others and family are welcome here; however, my dwelling is not child-proof by any stretch of the imagination.

Useful tools: light/medium weight gloves (some seeds are prickly), small flat head screwdriver or small knife for prying open,
small snips or scissors to trim excess stems from seed heads. We'll have shakers and screens. All debris will go into our duff/chaff bags for last processing through a chipper and a final sifting.

If you have any questions, please keep them to yourselves, or call.
