Please join the Four Corners Broads, Mountain Studies Institute, the Southwest Chapter of the Colorado Native Plant Society, and the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe Environmental Programs for a day of seed collection! We will be going out Thursday, Aug 25th.

We will be gathering seeds from specific species to aid the Ute Mountain Ute biologist in future re-seeding efforts to promote biodiversity and restoration on tribal lands.
