Dec. 3, the Forest Preserve seed team mixed seeds collected during the season. The seeds have been processed and are combined for future use in area preserves. They are sorted and combined according to types of seed and environment (woodland, wetland, prairie, etc). We all enjoy this event at the end of harvest season - it smells great and is good to see what's been collected. There is often a lot of dust/pollen, hence the stylish masks.
Afterwards, we celebrated with a potluck that is always delicious and bountiful. It was a great chance to chat and laugh with fellow team members, pick on Pete, and initiate our new volunteer coordinator, Robb, into the abuse. He realized he was better off sitting alone on the couch! Welcome to the group, Robb!

It was great to see everyone and enjoy another fun gathering. By the way, the 1st Annual Milkweed Pod Craft Competition is ON.
Happy Holidays, Everyone!
