Looking for a way to learn more about native species, support small farms, or just spend a Saturday outside? Join MNSEED Project and Wild Farm Alliance on August 15 at our first annual Pasture Bioblitz event! A Bioblitz is an event where volunteers come together to identify as many plants and insects as possible in a limited time to gauge the biodiversity of an area. No experience, no problem - we will have experts onsite as well as use technology to identify species. 

This event is part of our larger Minnesota Department of Agriculture-funded study into the biodiversity impacts of rotational grazed turkey. Volunteering doesn't just support Lucky Lavender Farm, but will help small farmers across the region by contributing to free knowledge on sustainable practices. We are so excited to be hosting this project, and greatly appreciate the support of our community in completing important biodiversity work!
