Seed Savers

All are welcome to join the Nature Conservancy staff in collecting, cleaning and sorting seeds from their native plant nursery. Seeds are currently ripening on plants in the nursery and are in need of harvesting. This is an opportunity to learn about native plants and help preserve the unique natural character of Martha’s Vineyard.

Three two-hour sessions will take place at the Hoft Farm Field Station, located off of Lambert’s Cove Road. To sign up and get directions to the property, contact Liz Loucks at eloucks@tnc.org or call 508-693-6287, extension 15. Signup is required, as without a minimum of two volunteers, the session will be postponed. Beverages and snacks will be provided.

Session times are: Monday, Nov. 1 from 1 to 3 p.m.; Wednesday, Nov. 3 from 10 a.m. to noon; and Friday, Nov. 5 from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. Additional help may be needed the third week of November.
