Native
Seed Collection
At the
February meeting Ken Hiser mentioned the program that
Chicago Botanic Garden has for hiring contract botanists to
collect seeds (primarily tallgrass prairie, but many other
species too). According to Ken: “It's fairly easy to get
signed on as a collector, and it seems to me like it would
be a nice way for many people to earn extra cash and maybe
also get novice botanists (children, students...) involved
in plant conservation work. And I think many of the
contractors get some pretty substantial income out of
this... the more you collect, the more they pay per
collection!”
