Abstract
Native plants fill many crucial roles in their ecosystems, but are
often threatened by many external factors, decreasing their rates
of survival and successful reproduction. During the chilly fall
months of 2021, I collected seeds from a variety of native
wildflowers under the guidance of Dr. Ann Fraser, a professor in
the biology department here at Kalamazoo College. We collected
seeds in order to prepare them for planting in the spring,
drastically improving their chances of survival and benefitting
their ecosystems. Most of the seeds that I collected were from
areas on Kalamazoo College’s campus such as the wildflower
sanctuary outside of the Dow Science Center, and the garden in
front of Mandelle Hall.
