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.
