10th Annual City of Milton Parks & Rec native wild flower/grass seed pick. We will meet at 9am this Sat, the 9th, out to Crossridge Park. After picking at Crossridge, we will collect seeds from various areas around town as a group. A family friendly event designed to beautify the green spaces in Milton, provide restored habitat for native wildlife, and reduce or eliminate mowing/maintenance costs otherwise passed on to the taxpayers. All ages welcome! Great family event! Bring friends, family, and anyone else you can convince to try something new. We will meet at 9am this Sat, the 9th, out to Crossridge Park. After picking at Crossridge, we will collect seeds from various areas around town as a group. We will not be crushing this year. We want to use our time collecting as much seed possible.

Seed is going to be used to surround the new pond on the Hwy 59 entry on the east side of Milton. It will also line the highway if we can collect enough. We need lots of people, and this truly benefits all people of Milton and then some. We have managed to restore 7 acres and have over $1000 worth of seed in storage ready to plant. This may sound like a lot of seed, but it really isn't. The seed costs hundreds of dollars per pound, but goes a long way. The finished product is a crushed seed that is very small and light. Scout groups, 4-H members, businesses, organizations, or anyone else that wants to join in is welcome!

*THE CITY OF MILTON IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE LINK ABOVE, NOR DO THEY OFFER AND OFFICIAL OPINION ON THE PETITION. I HAVE POSTED IT AS A COURTESY TO THE GRASSROOTS EFFORTS OF A FEW AREA TEENAGERS ON A MISSION. AT THE MILTON CROSSRIDGE PARKS MEETING, A GROUP OF AREA YOUTHS EXPRESSED INTEREST IN MOVING THE IDEA ALONG. SITES WERE SUGGESTED, AND AFTER CONSIDERATION OF A NUMBER OF OPTIONS ONE WAS SELECTED. IN THE PICTURE IS A RED BOX. THIS IS THE PLANNED LOCATION, IF, THE PARK IS BUILT. TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA WHERE THIS IS, IT IS TO THE SOUTH (RIGHT IF FACING THE POST OFFICE FROM THE STREET) TO THE RIGHT OF THE GRAVEL PARKING LOT THAT WAS MADE FOR KING SLEDDING HILL.
