❄️ #NewYear. New Beginnings. #Winter can be a great time to plant #NativeSeeds. #SnowSeeding is where you spread the seeds out over the snow. This gives the seeds a chance to "stratify" (or be out in the cold) so that they're ready to germinate, or sprout, in the springtime.

#ThankYou for helping us restore & protect more of #Minnesota's green spaces this year. You are helping us restore land, water, & wonder for generations to come. And we can't wait to share with you what we have in store for #2023. Stay tuned!

#Thanks #NewYearsDay #NewYear
