Seed Collection Days

  • Date: 11/02/2025 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM  

Join Oakland County Parks staff for Fall Seed Collection Days! During this free program, you'll try your hands at native prairie plant seed collection, learn to identify and collect species that contribute to ongoing prairie restoration efforts and discover how prairie habitats are an endangered and critical part of our landscape for wildlife and people. We'll meet in the dog park parking lot and move into the fields for seed collection. Please preregister online for this program.

Another Fall Seed Collection Day is scheduled from 9 a.m.-noon on Sunday, Nov. 9.
