Removing Invasive Plants

Monday, April 29 – 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. 

Location: Feist Prairie

Please join us for second work party at the small yet mighty Feist Prairie on Monday, April 29 from 4-7 p.m. We will focus on removing and treating invasives like prickly ash, black raspberry, and honeysuckle. Wear leather gloves and other pricker-resistant clothing.

If you have them, please bring brush cutters, small chainsaws, handheld pruners and/or small loppers and herbicide daubers/small spray bottles. Herbicide will be provided.

Given that we’ll be working over the typical supper time, please bring something to eat and drink. Snacks and drinking water will be available.
