Invasive Weed Removal - Boscobel Bluffs SNA, Grant Co.
Tired of pulling garlic mustard, battling wild parsnip, or cutting brush? Join us at Boscobel Bluffs State Natural Area for a different kind of invasive species control project!
We'll be working in the prairie habitat beneath a powerline corridor, removing invasive spotted knapweed and sweet clover to help native plants thrive. These aggressive invaders can crowd out the diverse wildflowers and grasses that provide food and habitat for pollinators, birds, and other wildlife.
Boscobel Bluffs is one of the Driftless Area's hidden gems, featuring exceptional prairie and woodland habitats, remarkable biodiversity, and stunning views overlooking the Wisconsin River and the City of Boscobel. Every plant removed helps protect and restore this special landscape for future generations.
Bring a friend, enjoy the scenery, and make a tangible difference for native habitat. Whether you're a seasoned volunteer or joining us for the first time, we'd love to have you on the hillside with us!
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 sometimes 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!
What to Bring: Work gloves, sturdy footwear, water, sun protection, and a willingness to get your hands dirty while helping the land.
