Help Clean Native Seed on November 15  Every year Boulder County Parks and Open Space volunteers help collect millions of native grass and flower seeds, that are later used in restoration projects on Open Space lands.

Minimum age is 12 with adult supervision. Please register by November 14 by e-mailing WildWorkVolunteers@BoulderCounty.org or calling 303-678-6216.
