DAYS
Join us at the Kettle Moraine State Forest in Wisconsin! Come to our second Saturday monthly workdays on Southern Kettle Moraine SNAs. We will bundle, cut, and treat the grass Phragmites. Phragmites has invaded the rich wetlands surrounding Bluff Creek, a cold, clear trout stream. It spreads quickly through a network of underground and aboveground stems, quickly choking out native vegetation. This work will build on previous efforts to kill and stop Phragmites spread, allowing native sedges, grasses, and wildflowers to persist.
No skills needed, you will be trained onsite. See the difference previous years efforts have made!
Date: August 13th
Time: 9am-noon
