SOUTHWEST WISCONSIN WORK PARTY
Invasive Removal at Feist Prairie
Wednesday, December 3 – 9:00 a.m. to Noon
Location: Feist Prairie in Grant County, WI
Fall on the prairie begins the season of woody invasive eradication. Please join us at Feist Prairie to bring down these “plants out of place.” Removal will involve a variety of methods: pulling, snipping, cutting, sawing, herbicide application, and the building of brush piles.
Join us when you can for as long as you can! No experience needed (except to use a chainsaw).
After the work party, we will gather for lunch at The Lemon Door in Fennimore.
WHAT TO BRING:
If you have them, please bring brush cutters, chainsaws, loppers, pruners, herbicide sprayers/daubers, and other implements of restoration. Herbicide will be provided. Ear protection and other personal protection equipment (PPE) is recommended and leather gloves are strongly encouraged.
