Re-seeding at the Interpretive Center

This saturday I went to the Interpretive Center at the Air Station Prairie.

For the time I was there, we gathered the seeds of a plant that were going to spread when the wind came, unbalancing the ways of the prairie.

By the end of the morning we had gathered many bags that looked like this.These seeds are to be taken to other locations where invasive species, such as buckthorn, has been cutdown and the land is in need of another plant.

In front of the prairie was a building that ran on the solar panels on the roof and a wind mill in front. Also the tables and all materials used were made out of different recycled woods that could been removed without having the tree die. They also had countertops that were made out of sun flower seeds.

Not only did the solar panels and wind mill provide electricity, it also heated the building and the water.

Overall, I learned a lot about the air station and the prairie, a part of my town that I never really knew about.
