State Natural Areas
Seed

Wed June 19: 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 collecting seeds. No skills needed you will be trained onsite. Click for more information.

Sat June 22: Help the Upper Sugar River Watershed Association (USRWA) restore the Sugar River Wetlands State Natural Area during our “4th Saturdays” volunteer work days. Volunteers will be spraying invasives, cutting brush, and girdling aspen. As you remove these species you will be promoting the growth of desirable native plants. It promises to be rewarding, fun, and a great way to experience the outdoors in spring. No skills needed you will be trained onsite. Click for more information.
