Have you been looking for a way to volunteer but aren’t sure about getting outside or can’t participate in manual labor? Our seed cleaning days might be perfect for you!

After our WildLands team and volunteers spend countless hours collecting native seed by hand, it gets cleaned and processed in our seed facility at the Bloch Barn in @jcprdparks. Volunteering for a seed cleaning day looks like sifting through that seed, running it through your fingers while sitting in the air conditioning and chatting with our staff and other volunteers. Sound like a way you’d want to spend your time? Be sure to register for our upcoming seed cleaning days by visiting our volunteer calendar 🌾

In 2024, the U.S. celebrates the 60th anniversary

In 2024, the U.S. celebrates the 60th anniversary of the Wilderness Act, a groundbreaking law to protect undeveloped lands. When President Lyndon Johnson signed the Act on September 3, 1964, it established the National Wilderness Preservation System with 54 areas across 13 states. Today, the system has grown to 806 areas in 44 states and Puerto Rico. This milestone is a moment to reflect on the past and consider how to further safeguard wilderness in the future.

To celebrate this historic effort, come hear our Kansas City WildLands team speak on a panel at the Anita B. Gorman Discovery Center tonight from 6:30-8:30pm. Drinks and snacks provided!

It's easy to feel defeated in times like these. Recycling can feel complicated and overwhelming, environmental policy might not feel as far along as so many of us would like, but it's important to remind ourselves of the small steps we've taken along the way. Folks have always been working toward an environmentally conscious future, and that work will continue!

"Having just moved to KC from Colorado, I'm so excited to share my enthusiasm for learning new things-- new plants, new bugs, and new skills-- with the community as I discover it all in real time. I've already been enjoying meeting so many incredible people who care about conservation and restoration as much as I do, and have the best attitude about doing it."
