SOUTHWEST WISCONSIN: FEIST PRAIRIE WORK PARTY
Feist Prairie Work Party
Sunday, November 15 – 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Location: Feist Prairie in Grant County, WI
Our next work party at Feist Prairie will focus on removing trees and large honeysuckle bushes and other woody invasives. Although the focus will be on cutting trees and large woody invasives, we will need help with building brushpiles and treating stumps, too.
Rain date is Sunday, November 22 at the same time.
WHAT TO BRING:
If you have them, please bring brush cutters, chainsaws, and loppers. Some equipment will be available. Herbicide and applicators will be provided. Ear protection, gloves, sturdy shoes/boots, and several layers of clothing are strongly recommended. Please bring drinking water.
No prior experience is needed. However, if you plan to use a chainsaw or brush cutter, personal protective equipment (PPE) is required.
