SUMMARY:MINNESOTA DRIFTLESS: BURN UNIT PREPARATION WORK DAY
DESCRIPTION:Burn Unit Preparation Work Day\nThursday, August 20 – 9:00 a.m. to Noon\nLocation: Garvin Heights Overlook Park in Winona, MN\n\nThere will be a workday at Garvin Heights to get the new burn unit (Unit #3, the lower bluff prairie) ready for a fall prescribed fire. There are many prairie plants in this remnant. A prescribed fire this fall is just the thing this prairie remnant needs.\nWe will clean up the fire brakes. We will either foliar spray invasive shrubs or cut and treat them. We will also cut and treat buckthorn in the burn unit especially where that might help with a better burn this fall. Finally, we may clear around desirable oak trees that we don’t want to be affected by the burn.\n \n\n\nWHAT TO BRING:\nParticipants should wear or bring the following:\n\nHydrating liquids and snacks to keep them healthy and happy\nInsect repellent and sunscreen\nWork gloves, and preferably boots, long pants, and long-sleeved shirts.\n\nWe will have a backpack herbicide sprayer, a couple of handheld herbicide sprayers, herbicide, some daubers, gloves, and a few clippers that can be used by all.\nPlease bring any equipment you might have and want to use, such as brush cutters or loppers.\nWORK PARTY LEADER:\nIf you’re interested in helping, please send Peter Hartman ( mailto:hartmanpm@charter.net ) an email (hartmanpm@charter.net ( mailto:hartmanpm@charter.net )). Peter will stay in touch with the people who send him an RSVP and let them know if there are any changes in the plan such as a delay or cancellation due to bad weather. You can also send Peter any questions you might have about the work day.\nLOCATION:\nWe will be meeting at the Garvin heights Overlook Parking Lot.
