Let's remove invasive brush together!

Did you know that Mississippi Valley Conservancy has a nature preserve just outside of Black River Falls? Water's Edge Woods nature preserve is a property that reminds us more of the northwoods than the Driftless Area.

Come explore this site while we restore habitat along the banks of the Black River. We will focus on removing invasive glossy buckthorn, clearing deadfall, and preventing erosion. Be sure to bring some bugspray! There is an easy terrain, making this suitable for all ages and abilities.

All ages and skill levels are welcome – dress appropriately for the weather, bring a water bottle and sturdy footwear and clothing to protect from brush. Events may involve full body movement on uneven ground and steep slopes. Expert instruction, protective gear, tools, and snacks will be provided. Together, we can make a big difference in a short amount of time!
