The Friends of Negwegon State Park would like to utilize teachers, students and school greenhouses for seed collection, seed propagation and installation of native plants. These same individuals could also help with developing the signage that would be found on the trails and with creating an inventory of the species that might be encountered. There is an abundance of material in the park for these activities. The Friends have permission from the Office of Stewardship at the State Department of Natural Resources to proceed with this plan with the proviso that plants or trees not currently growing at Negwegon must not be introduced. They are however permitted to transplant within the park and to propagate seed collected there.

Classes will be involved in the aquisition, purchase and use of technological equipment like cameras and GPS mapping units along with the plant propagation equipment. Data collected will be shared with the DNR for archival and study of the natural communities within the park. When these existing communities are identified, an interpretive walking trail is planned to feature the variety of native plant species at Negwegon State Park.
