During the spring and summer seed collecting seasons please contact a Native Seed Coordinator to make arrangements for delivering your seeds.

During fall seed collecting please have all seeds directed to:

Native Seed Gardeners
c/o Citizens for Conservation
459 West IL Route 22
Barrington, IL 60010
Attention: Native Seed Gardeners.

Please keep species separate. In each baggy, please put a piece of paper with the following info:

Name of the species
Gardener's name
e-mail address
Telephone

Place the dry seed in a sealed plastic baggy and mail it in a padded envelope which can be either a bubble-lined envelope or a cardboard insert to prevent crushing of the seed.

You may also hand deliver the seed to CFC and place it in the green basket in the backdoor vestibule.

You are welcome to join Citizens for Conservation and the Spring Creek Stewards in the open field harvests as well as the cleaning of the seed at CFC.

The dates and times can be found by going to  Citzensforconservation.org and the Springcreekstewards.org websites and clicking on the calenders.
