Do a good deed, get a dose of Nature, and learn about the plants around you, all at once! Come experience the cool mornings and the spicy aromas of an early California autumn while working with us at our one-of- a-kind Native Seed Farm in Irvine. Absolutely no experience or special equipment required. You will be harvesting seeds from quirky, robust native fall wildflowers and bushes– – things like California Buckwheat and our iconic Sagebrush. The seed you will pick has a direct impact on our local wildlife. It will be used to re-grow animal habitat within the Irvine Ranch Natural Landmarks. The types you’ll help us harvest were selected especially by our Ecologists to provide animals with food and shelter, and also to buffer the impacts of floods and wildfires. Come help us harness the special traits of these plants and use their natural powers to heal the wildland within the Landmarks!
Difficulty Rating: This level 1 activity is on relatively flat ground and you can work at your own pace, but it does involve walking around the fields and some stooping, bending and/or kneeling. But we also always have something to harvest that you can do standing up, just let us know upon your arrival and we can find you the right kind of job!
