Work Party

We will remove the barbed wire fence along Oak Drive and cut some brush.
Removing the fence enables us to set up fire breaks for a spring burn.

The privately owned Oak Drive Wet Prairie supports degraded wet prairie with elements of calcareous (“prairie”) fen, which grades into southern sedge meadow in the western part. Notable species include marsh betony (Pedicularis lanceolata), Riddell’s goldenrod (Solidago riddellii), and greater fringed gentian (Gentianopsis crinita). These and other wet prairie species are locally very uncommon.

Time:  10 am until 2 pm
Location: Park along Oak Drive, River Falls, WI

Snacks, beverages, and tools will be provided. Feel free to bring your own lunch. We may have a bonfire, in which case there will be hot dogs!
