The Need for Seed

I feel the need — the need for seed. Students scatter seeds into the wind at Lakeshore Nature Preserve’s Biocore Prairie near Picnic Point. The Biocore project began in 1997, and it currently occupies about 11 acres. A generation later, students still scatter seeds, pull weeds, observe controlled burns, and catalogue species of plants and animals. Photo by Bryce Richter
