Buckthorn!

Join us as we cut and stump treat buckthorn at Dieperink Woods (formerly called Brokken Woods).

Some loppers will be provided, but if you have your own, feel free to bring them.  We will also be walking around, looking for undiscovered flora.

Date: August 4  (Tuesday)
Time: 10am to 2pm
Location: Dieperink Woods (previously Brokken Woods)
Afton, MN

We will meet at the gate on the cul-de-sac at the south end of the property: at the far eastern end of 42nd St. S in Afton, MN. There is plenty of room to park.

Bring:
♦ Dress appropriately for weather
♦ Drinking water

♦ Bring your lunch

After our lunch break, we will take a walk around the site, looking at what’s blooming, what’s making seeds, and looking for further effects of spring’s prescribed burns. Many cool season native grasses have or will soon bloom, and we can check on their progress. Poke milkweed emerged in large numbers after the burn and may still be in bloom.
