Join in on Sunday, May 24th from 8:30 to noon! This week may offer our last best chance to girdle shady young trees encroaching on the remnant prairie (BYO hammer). Mild temperatures and winds will also offer a chance to treat woody re-sprouts, and we can see if any early-spring blooming species are ready for seed collecting. We can also look ahead to the coming summer, when our priorities may shift to species like sweet clover, sumac, tall goldenrod, and more.
All are welcome to come learn, steward, and lead. Nature needs you!
As always, bring water to stay hydrated and use bug repellent to ward off ticks. Snacks to share are welcome!
See you on the prairie

Four Clasping Milkweeds were together, all browsed enough to prevent reseeding.
