Seed Bombs For The Buffer Zone- Earth Day 2024
Stop by Beaverdam Park and make a seed bomb to drop in the buffer zone. What is a seed bomb? It’s a mixture of soil, air dry clay and wildflower seeds. You mix them together, then toss them into the lake buffer zone that we are building to fight erosion. Join the fun and help us protect the lake’s shoreline. While supplies last. No registration required.
