GLACIAL PRAIRIE: SHINING OAKS WORK PARTY
Shining Oaks Work Party
Sunday, November 8 – 10:00 a.m. to Noon
Location: Shining Oaks in Jefferson County, WI
The Prairie Enthusiasts has an easement on this 40-acre parcel which includes high quality oak savanna and sedge meadow remnants. We have been working on clearing downed, woody materials in preparation for a fall burn in the oak savanna, and invasive shrub removals. We may also do brush pile burning if there is snow cover.
DIFFICULTY: Moderate (hilly terrain).
WHAT TO BRING:
Wear sturdy shoes, sun hat and long sleeves, bring work gloves, water, sunscreen, insect repellent and safety glasses (sunglasses ok). If volunteers possess and are willing to bring chainsaws, hand saws, or loppers that would be appreciated. Chainsaws must be used in accordance with TPE Chainsaw Policy (e.g., bring and wear full personal protective equipment).
