St. Croix Valley Sites
The St. Croix Valley Chapter has written or verbal management agreements covering 7 prairie and savanna sites in our membership area. We work on these sites year round:
- During the winter we remove invasive cedar trees and buckthorn. As soon as there is snow cover we burn the trees and brush on site. We always have hot dogs!
- In the spring we conduct prescribed burns to rejuvenate the plants.
- In the summer we lead guided field trips.
- In the fall we collect seed to redistribute on the spots previously cleared of trees and buckthorn.
