The start of a wonderful season
On the morning of Juneteenth, several volunteers joined Graham and Emma, the absolutely world class staff at Goose Pond Sanctuary, at one of the satellite properties of SoWBA near Goose Pond* to collect lupine seed.
This seed requires quick and timely picking because it ripens and drops in just a few days. Here today, gone tomorrow. It's also one of our most important seeds to collect on and near Goose Pond. It's the only host plant of the federally endangered Karner Blue butterfly. With enough seed we shall create more habitat for the butterfly.
