 Monday May 13, 1-4pm (Olson Oak Woods, Dane County): It’s spring! Get out and enjoy it by making a difference and control garlic mustard at Olson Oak Woods (within the Madison School Forest). Come see what’s blooming and help volunteers at this site. We’ll team up to scan areas for of garlic mustard and remove it. Spring is the best time to enjoy this site with birds singing and few bugs. This work will help promote native woodland and savanna plants. Be prepared for some thorns. No skills needed you will be trained onsite. Click for more information.
Wednesday May 15, 9-noon (Rocky Run Oak Savanna, Columbia County): Help out at Rocky Run SNA! Help care for this site and learn something in the process. Rocky Run is a priority site because it is large, has rich sand prairie and oak savanna, and rare plants and animals live there. We are expanding the good areas by removing pine plantations, brush, and spreading native seed. We may be using herbicides to spray knapweed and brush or we will be piling slash in a pine plantation. No skills needed you will be trained onsite. Click for more information.
