EMPIRE-SAUK WORK PARTY
Seed Cleaning and Processing at Mounds View Grassland
Sunday, November 2 – 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Location: Mounds View Grassland in Barneveld, WI
Come help us clean and process seed of many species. This seed is critical to our efforts to recover prairie and associated wetlands on a large scale at Mounds View Grassland and other The Prairie Enthusiasts conservation projects. We plant seed on 40-70 acres each year and need hundreds of pounds of seed of over 100 species to do so.
WHAT TO BRING:
Bring gloves and be prepared for small to moderate amounts of dust at times. Dust masks will be provided if you do not have one.
WORK PARTY LEADER:

DIRECTIONS:
Meet at Schurch-Thomson Prairie. Address: 8624 Reilly Road, Barneveld, WI. From the intersection of US Hwy 18-151 and County F (south of Blue Mounds in western Dane County), take F approximately 5 miles south. Turn right onto Reilly Road and proceed to parking lot and kiosks at the end of the road (past the barn). (Note: A half mile down F from 18-151, pay close attention to the road signs, for F turns to the right & the straight-ahead road becomes County Z. Stay on F.)
