Volunteer Work Party - Tunnelville Cliffs, Vernon Co.
Along the winding Kickapoo River, Mississippi Valley Conservancy wants YOU to help pull invasive wild parsnip at Tunnelville Cliffs State Natural Area. By pulling this invasive weed, not only do you protect Mississippi Valley Conservancy nature preserves, but all downstream properties and wildlife habitat along the Kickapoo River. The Conservancy will provide protective gear, water, and snacks for you to enjoy. All you have to bring is a care for the Driftless Area and a great attitude!
All skill levels are welcome – dress appropriately for the weather, bring a water bottle, sturdy footwear. long pants and a long-sleeved shirt to protect from the parsnip. 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!
