Invasive Weed Removal - Wilton Hemlocks, Monroe County

Did you know that Mississippi Valley Conservancy has a nature preserve along the Kickapoo river outside Wilton, Wisconsin? This nature preserve is a rarely visited site that hosts a hemlock grove alongside a fire-dependent sedge meadow. This meadow has so many different wildlife and plant species we are still finding new ones. We need your help on June 20th from 9am - noon to pull invasive wild parsnip to preserve this site and protect the downstream flows of the Kickapoo river. We will provide PPE as well as snacks. 

All ages and skill levels are welcome – dress appropriately for the weather, bring a water bottle and sturdy footwear, long pants and a long-sleeved shirt to protect against 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!
