First-ever seed harvest at sanctuary in gibbon giBBOn (AP) — gathering

seeds from nebraska’s native and restored prairies remains a hands-on, one-plant-at-a-time job that is repeated several times over late summer and fall.

On a morning last week, with the temperature already into the 80s and the heat index much higher, seed gatherers walked around the John J. Di-nan Memorial Bird conserva-tion Area along the Platte river at the Audubon’s rowe Sanctu-ary southwest of gibbon.

It was the first prairie seed harvest at rowe Sanctuary and the focus was on spiderwort, sideoats grama and poppy mallow plants, the Kearney Hub (http://bit.ly/2a7jpZ9 )

reported.“We are sort of stealing from

our partners, the Prairie Plains institute (at Aurora) and The nature conservancy, which have been doing this a long time,” said rowe’s Director of conservation Andrew Pierson.

Mardell Jasnowski from TNC’s Aurora office, a vet-eran of seed harvests at Tnc’s prairies, presented a how-to program recently for rowe staff and volunteers.

Pierson said grasslands make up around 2,000 of rowe Sanctuary’s 2,400 acres. The grasslands include 1,500-1,600 acres that can be defined as prairie, with 400-500 acres of restored prairie on what previ-ously were croplands or, as

in the case of the Dinan tract, riparian woodlands.

“We are going to collect seeds from those (restored) acres because they are very diverse and young,” Pierson said. “We planted high-diver-sity seed and that has been retained.”

He explained that diver-sity reflects a prairie’s state of health. He compared the diverse Dinan tract to rowe’s nearby Pierce property grass-land that is a monoculture of invasive cool-season grasses.

“The goal is to move seeds from some of the most di-verse acres to the least diverse acres,” Pierson said. “... We’re very early, at the beginning of when most of those plants go

to seed. We’ll be doing this several more times and each time we will be targeting dif-ferent plant species.”

He expects the next harvest day sometime in August to focus on milkweed and penste-mon seeds.

How long the series of harvests last depends on the plants. “At some point the plants stop growing,” said Anne Winkel, rowe’s commu-nity outreach coordinator.

Timing is critical, she said, especially for plants that have a narrow seed gathering win-dow.

Dry seeds also are impor-tant, so some of last week’s collection will be bagged and stored until they are dry. “We

don’t intend to store a lot of seeds over the winter,” Pierson said, adding that seeds col-lected dry from the fields may be sowed elsewhere almost immediately.

“We will try to be opportu-nistic. if there are places we have grazed down, we’re more confident because we can get the seeds to the dirt,” he said, and another good planting opportunity will be this fall in a grassland scheduled for a prescribed burn.

When Winkel briefed volun-teers Don Brockmeier of eustis and Darwin Hinrichs and courtney Wilhelm of gibbon prior to last week’s harvest, she said, “in a lot of prairie seed harvesting, you feel like you’re

just walking around. And you are because you’re scouting for certain species.”

When asked why she was spending her morning off from work to help harvest prairie seeds, Wilhelm talked about her daughters, ages 12 and 9, who recently attended the Platte river Safari and Flying Higher nature camps at rowe Sanctuary.

“it makes me a little emo-tional,” she said as she walked through tall prairie grasses carrying a knife and seed col-lection bucket, “but i feel like our earth is so important we should take care of it ... We do enough damage that we need to do twice as much good to it, one seed at a time.”

Cheyenne Trotters coming to Fort Robinson State ParkcrAWFOrD - The cheyenne

Trotters, a group of skilled horse enthusiasts who specialize in cavalry demonstrations, parades and drill team performances, will entertain audiences during a series of appearances at Fort

robinson State Park in August.Drill performances are set for

Thursday, Aug. 11, prior to the fort’s weekly rodeo at 7 p.m., and Saturday, Aug. 13, at 7 p.m., also at the rodeo arena. cavalry performances will be Friday-

Sunday, Aug. 12-14, on the park’s parade grounds at 10 a.m. each day.

The demonstrations require a high level of horsemanship of the men and women who make up the Wyoming group

of eight to 12 riders. The drill performance tasks the riders and horses to gallop through an intricate pattern with impeccable timing and spacing. The cavalry routine, which has historic mili-tary origins appropriate to Fort

robinson’s history as a u.S. cav-alry post, features the horses and riders responding to spontaneous voice commands of a drillmaster as they ride at a brisk trot.

The performances are open to the public free of charge but

a nebraska park entry permit is required for vehicles entering Fort robinson. The permits are available online at outdoorne-braska.org, the park’s headquar-ters or from vendors throughout the state.
