About Our Chapter

St. Croix Chapter is located in an area that at one time included large dry prairies. Today there are small oak savanna remnants that still contain some uncommon plants associated with those historic prairies. Our chapter works on a few of these, visits others to appreciate what is left, and educates folks on fire-dependent ecosystems.

The St. Croix chapter covers Pierce, Polk and St. Croix counties in Wisconsin, and Washington county in Minnesota. We invite you to join us!

VIEW OUR SITES AND PROJECTS

Join us on a work party!

What do they look like?

Every work party has a leader. They will explain why this site is important, what we hope to accomplish on that day, and how you can contribute.

Join us when you can for as long as you can! While most work parties are scheduled from 10am until 2pm, you can come for 1, 2, 3, or 4 hours; whatever you can contribute is welcome!

No experience needed (except to use a chainsaw). We will instruct you on what buckthorn looks like, how to cut buckthorn and how to apply herbicide.

Late fall and winter on the prairie begins the season of woody invasive eradication. Removal will involve a variety of methods: pulling, snipping, cutting, sawing, herbicide application, and the building of brush piles.

WHAT TO BRING:
The chapter has loppers, herbicide, and herbicide applicators. You are welcome to bring you own equipment if you prefer.

If you bring your chainsaw, you must have all personal protection equipment (PPE).
