Boats and crew get ready for the task of cutting new seeds.

 
Stalks embrace the ripe seeds until nature forces their release.

Clear Creek volunteers help the process of preserving Clear Creek by removing selective cuts along the creek from various locations.

Using a bucket strung from a cord to free his hands, Rex Ward clips some of the seeds.

Seed Plants along the creek bank.

The only way to access the mature plants is to trudge through the mud. Old coolers make great collectors and slide across the mud easily.

Rex Ward shows his cooler as a trophy fisherman would his catch.

Clipping the seeds is a careful process.

Rex Ward says, "Fini" as a tired group of folks finish the day.
