SUMMARY:MINNESOTA DRIFTLESS WORK PARTY
DESCRIPTION:Bluff Prairie Restoration Workday\nThursday, January 15 – 9:00 a.m.\nLocation: Choice, MN\n\nCome help Justin Nooker restore a bluff prairie about one mile east of Choice, MN (~15 minutes south of Rushford or ~15 minutes north of Mabel). Justin has begun restoration on about 5 acres of bluff prairie and needs your help! For intrepid souls, there will be cutting and piling of cedars upslope. For those more adapted to flat land there is the option of clipping/cutting buckthorn near the roadside. Sturdy boots and crampons are suggested for both activities, depending on personal preference.\nThe work day will begin at 9:00 on Thursday, January 15th, and Sunday, January 18th. Both days will go on until people are ready to leave based on their own preferences and schedules. Stay as long as you’d like. Justin will likely work until dark.\nWHAT TO BRING\nJustin will provide all herbicide and herbicide application equipment. Justin will also have a few extra hand clippers and loppers. Participants should bring a sack lunch, plenty of drinking water, winter work gloves, eye protection, hearing protection, sturdy winter boots and sturdy crampons (Kahtoola), and hand clipper or loppers if they have any. Only certified chainsaw operators will be allowed to operate so if you’re certified, you can bring your own chainsaw, PPE, fuel-oil mix, and bar oil.\nCONTACT:\nFor more information and to RSVP, call (920) 639-3470 or email Justin Nooker at (just.nooker@gmail.com ( mailto:just.nooker@gmail.com )). If you plan to help, be sure to RSVP so you’ll be notified if there are any change of plans.\nLOCATION:\nParticipants will meet at approximately 43696 County Road 13, Mabel, MN 55954. Please park on 441st Street just west of the address and past the intersection of Fillmore County 13 and 441st street. You likely won’t have mobile phone coverage in this valley, so print a map of the location you can use as you drive, download the Google Maps route to use offline, or tweak your phone’s settings to use satellite GPS.
