MINNESOTA DRIFTLESS WORK PARTY

Remnant Restoration Workday

Sunday, May 3 – 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Location: Hay Creek Hills Farm in Red Wing, MN

All hands on deck! Come at 10, come at 1, or come anytime to pitch in whatever you can.

Join us for this spontaneous “pop up” volunteer workday on Hay Creek Hills Farm! We’ll haul buckthorn and brush into piles on the remnant prairie and oak savanna restoration EQIP site. You choose your spot: flat top or steeper, more challenging slopes.

Burnthorn has already been cut. It just needs to be pulled away into piles to give plants underneath more sunlight as soon as possible! SO MANY plants are popping up already in previously shaded areas–we’ve even spotted wild monarda (aka beebalm) in an area that was covered in aspen and buckthorn a year ago! Evidence of the once-open prairie we’re working to restore to its former glory!

WHAT TO BRING
Gloves, long pants and sleeves, tick spray, hand pruners if you’ve got them, and your preferred snacks/lunch. Beverages and snacks will be provided as well!

CONTACT:
RSVP to Wendy via EMAIL only if you can make it.

LOCATION:
Next to 30718 Hay Creek Hills Dr., Red Wing, MN. MAP HERE

Please text Wendy (612-930-9786) when you arrive if you need help finding the location on the farm (we’ll be out at the remnant goat prairie on the far SW corner).
