Participants will learn to identify native plants in their seed stage, and how to harvest and clean native seeds in a sustainable way within the desert ecosystems of Maricopa County’s regional parks.
The initiative to harvest native seeds is a proactive step towards ecological restoration. These native seeds are selected for their resilience and ability to thrive in the local environment.
