Friends Group Reed Canary Grass-A-Thon

Description

Help remove reed canary grass from Spruce Lake Bog State Natural Area!

Spruce Lake Bog State Natural Area is one of the most southerly bogs in Wisconsin. The site is rich in plants that are more characteristic of northern Wisconsin sphagnum bogs, and it was designated as a state natural area in 1968. 

The bog contains a variety of sedges, shrubs, and herbaceous plants, and a boardwalk leads to the 35-acre lake. For many years, reed canary grass has been spreading into the bog. After four years of volunteer efforts, we are seeing the return of many more orchids, ferns and other unique plants along the boardwalk.

Meet at the Spruce Lake Bog parking lot on Airport Road (829 Airport Rd, Campbellsport, WI 53010) to help continue our invasives removal work.
