| After planting, the empty pots have to be collected. |
About 140 volunteers turned out on a clear, crisp Saturday morning to plant 3,050 native species as part of the prairie restoration project at Sheldon Lake State Park. It took a little less than three hours to get the plants in the ground.
The plants were a mix of grasses and forbs, which were started from seeds or rescued from nearby areas.
This field should a new look in the spring.

| Digging a hole for a plant in a one-gallon pot can be tough because it has been dry. But an inch of rain earlier in the week helped a bit. |
 |
| Volunteers came in all sizes. |
 |
| A couple of student environmental clubs and several families came to help. |
