Join Us for Seed Cleaning Volunteer Mornings! Next Workday JANUARY 28th

​Every Monday morning a group of plant and seed lovers gathers at the Borderlands Restoration Seed Lab in Patagonia, AZ to clean native seeds that are critical for supporting habitat restoration on public and private lands across the region. You can support this great work by volunteering your time with opportunities each week!

It all starts with a seed, and when that seed is collected, usually a lot of other plant material comes with it. We use both seed cleaning machines and low-tech methods such as sieves and fans to clean the seeds of excess debris, so they can be used in restoration projects or grown out at our nursery. 

In 2019, we collected over 150 lbs of native seed, which means we need a lot of help this winter! If you'd like to find out more, please email acmount@borderlandsrestoration.org.

We are located on the Old Main campus in Patagonia at address 1 School Street, see above for more instructions.

Here is what a few of our regular volunteers have to say about our seed cleaning workdays:

"Volunteering with Borderlands is a great way to learn all about native plants. The Borderlands staff is friendly, knowledgeable and always willing to answer questions along with providing a laid back and fun environment to work in! My favorite experience while volunteering was being in beautiful landscapes collecting seeds and then having the opportunity to learn how to clean and store the seeds for future use in rehabilitating native landscapes."

"The best part about volunteering on Monday morning in the seed lab is the people.”

​

We hope to see you at the seed lab soon!
