SCUPPERNONG SPRINGS | Saturday, Feb. 19 | 9 a.m.-noon
Get exercise and team up with the Prairie Enthusiasts on the third Saturday of the month to take care of a Milwaukee-area property. Scuppernong Springs has great trails that explore the headwaters of the Scuppernong River and numerous springs. It’s also home to a diverse array of plants due to the various habitats found here. While it is not currently a State Natural Area, it is a part of the larger Scuppernong Habitat Area which holds two other State Natural Areas. Volunteers will work on buckthorn, honeysuckle and other brush species in priority areas.
