Heritage Valley Summer Seed Harvest

Together, we'll hand-harvest native seed from Heritage Valley's hillsides to diversify and expand the prairie.

Seed harvesting can be done using your hands or clippers to collect seeds into buckets and bags. This activity is a favorite among volunteers of all ages because of how peaceful and relaxing it is. It’s a great way to get to know the prairie more intimately and learn about this special ecosystem.

Heritage Valley encompasses nearly 1,200 acres and more than three miles of the Upper Iowa River in northeast Iowa. The property boasts a diverse mixture of habitats including woodland, prairie and floodplains, all managed primarily for native plants and wildlife. The property is owned and managed by INHF.
