On Sunday, Sept. 8, Citizens for Conservation restoration volunteers will begin its fall seed collecting schedule: 9-11 a.m. on Thursdays and Saturdays, and 3:30-5 p.m. Sundays. Volunteers meet at Citizens for Conservation headquarters, 459 W. Highway 22, Lake Barrington, the white farmhouse with a silo across from Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital. This schedule runs through October.

Volunteers of all ages can collect seed; it’s a great fall family activity. New volunteers are welcome. CFC collects seed of a wide variety of native plants and use them in its preserves in the Barrington area. They also share seed with many nonprofit organizations for local restorations.

For information, call CFC at (847) 382-7283.
