About this event
Want to learn more about native plants? Assist with native plant propagation at Prophetstown State Park! Plants grown at Prophetstown SP are used in restoration efforts at the park, supplied to Indiana State Parks across the state, and used in our Native Plant Sale (May 12th and 13th, 2023) with all proceeds supporting future greenhouse operations at Prophetstown SP.
There are a variety of prizes available to volunteers who help with the planting, including plant sale coupons, State Park Swag, and more!
You can sign up for a 2 hour shift (10am-Noon/1pm-3pm) or sign up for both shifts and take a 1hr lunch break in-between. Meet at the Visitor's Center. Space is limited. If you are feeling unwell, please stay home.
This activity is suitable for volunteers ages 12 and up. Children must be supervised by an adult if under the age of 16.
If you are unable to make it to a session you signed up for, please call the park office ASAP (765)567-4919.

About the organizer
Organized by
Prophetstown State ParkProphetstown State Park is located where the Tippecanoe River meets the Wabash near the town of Battle Ground northeast of Lafayette. The park's landscape has been shaped by ice from glaciers, moving water, fire and human hands that helped maintain the vast tall prairie grass. Native American people hunted and lived along the two rivers for thousands of years.
NOTE: Many mapping services are wrong. Take I-65 to Exit 178/SR 43 north of Lafayette. Go south on SR 43 for a very short distance and turn left onto Burnett Road. Take a right on Ninth Street to Swisher Road. This is a hard left immediately after the veterinary office. Once on Swisher Road, cross over I-65 and find the park gatehouse.
