Dia de Voluntario (Bilingue)​

Nachusa Grasslands
Picture
Dia de Voluntario

Fecha: Sábado 10 de Septiembre, 2022 de 9 a 12pm

Vengan a conocer Nachusa Grasslands acompañados con Amanda Contreras y ser voluntario en la colección de semillas de varias flores y plantas nativas. Las semillas se utilizarán para crear hábitat natural en Nachusa Grasslands, una reserva natural de The Nature Conservancy (TNC).

Amanda Contreras es una ecologista profesional que conoce bien a Nachusa. Habla español y inglés y sabe mucho de ecología. Viajaremos a varios lugares de la reserva para colectar varias semillas. Es divertido buscar las plantas, aprender sus nombres, ver su hábitat, y charlar mientras las recogemos. Continuaremos la mañana con una visita a la manada de bisontes de Nachusa.

Esta actividad es buena para adultos y niños de diez años en adelante. Hay caminata modesta fuera del sendero. Por favor traiga guantes de trabajo y botas o tenis.
​
Encuéntrenos en nuestro granero en Nachusa Grasslands 8772 S. Lowden Road, Franklin Grove, IL (20 minutos al oeste de Rochelle)
Volunteer Seed Picking Morning

Date: Saturday, September 10, 2022, from 9 to 12pm

Join Amanda Contreras for seed picking of various flowers and grasses.  The seeds will be used to create habitat at Nachusa Grasslands, a preserve owned by The Nature Conservancy.  

Amanda Contreras is a professional ecologist who knows Nachusa well. She speaks Spanish and English and knows a lot about Ecology. We will travel to several places on the preserve and pick various seeds.  It is fun to handle plants, learn their names, see their habitat, and chat while picking.  We will follow up the morning with a visit to the Nachusa bison herd.

This activity is good for children say ten years and up.  Modest walking off trail.   Bring work gloves if you have them.  
​
Meet us at our Headquarters at Nachusa Grasslands 8772 S. Lowden Road, Franklin Grove, IL (20 minutes west of Rochelle)
