Habitat Helpers - Native Prairie Planting

Description

We have about 3,000 prairie plants to get in the ground this Summer!

Prairie plants will be added to the ongoing improvements to our Naturalist's Backyard and Rain Garden Reconstruction projects at Havenwoods. Dig some holes, fill some dirt, and leave a lasting legacy that will improve wildlife habitat, educational offerings, and aesthetics in the forest!

Volunteers should wear closed-toe shoes, long pants, sunscreen/insect repellant and dress for the weather. If you have a pair of work gloves to use, great! If not, we'll have some to borrow for the day. We'll also have knee pads (to help save our joints), shovels and other tools. Don't forget to bring a water bottle (filling stations are available in the nature center).

Meet at Havenwoods State Forest, 6141 N Hopkins Street, Milwaukee, WI 53209.
