Join us at the property of Glenn Heins to see multiple plots of planted prairie that were established in different years. We had a field trip at Glenn’s property in 2021 and it was a big success. People on that field trip had great discussions about various restoration planting and management methods, lots of ideas were exchanged, and everyone enjoyed seeing the wildflowers in bloom.
For more information and to RSVP, shoot an email to Glenn at (glenn.heins@gmail.com).
UPDATE: THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED
Last year’s field trip at Prairie Creek Wildlife Management Area was a huge success and we’re having another field trip this year. Prairie Creek WMA is in Rice County and the Minnesota Driftless Chapter is partnering with the Friends of Prairie Creek to increase appreciation of this important area, provide educational opportunities such as field trips, and hold stewardship work days.
For more information and to RSVP, send an email to Steve Winter at (WinterSL8944@gmail.com).
Join us for a tour of Pleasure Valley Conservancy. This 213-acre site contains oak savanna and woodland that have been managed with fire for over 20 years. We will observe the effects of long-term prescribed fire and other management and have an opportunity to observe the many plant and wildlife species that depend on increasingly rare, fire-adapted oak habitats.
Our tour will take us on an approximately one-mile hike on established trails with a few steep portions.
This event is occurring in conjunction with the Northeast-Midwest Prescribed Fire Science and Management Workshop.
