Hey, no "Runnoft" or "Pete" commenting on this article? Tells you something, doesn't it? They can cut on poor or unfortunate people/families, but help someone? Yeah, right!

Saturday, October 10th, 9am starting at Rotary Gardens in Janesville and eventually moving to Milton to pick seeds from the established native prairies located at the high school as well as Crossridge park.
Milton Parks Ad-hoc committee will continue the 7yr tradition, but this year we have been asked by Milton DPW and Wisconsin DOT to plant a 6-7 acre area along the new Hwy 59 expansion on on Milton's east side. The area will be planted at the end of the project by the MECCA students as a class project. We have about 3 acres of seed ready to plant from last year, but we need your help! More information as well as pictures of our already established prairies containing wild grasses and flowers native to this area in full bloom can be found at:
