Stewards of the Kettle Moraine: Haskell Noyes SNA Invasive Plant Removal
Description
Haskell Noyes State Natural Area (SNA) is 61 acres of prime dry-mesic forest as it was never heavily logged or clear cut during the logging era of the 19th century. The land was purchased in 1947 to prevent imminent logging and was designated a state natural area in 1952. It has a rich diversity of plants that are under threat from invasive species, such as garlic mustard and buckthorn. Because of our volunteer effort, we are finding fewer and fewer of these plants throughout this SNA.
Volunteer days for garlic mustard removal in Haskell Noyes SNA are as follows:
- Tuesdays, May 5, 12, 19, 26, and June 2 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
- Thursdays, May 7, 14, 21, 28, and June 4 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
- Saturdays, May 9, 16, 23, 30, and June 6 from 9 a.m. to noon.
Meet at the Haskell Noyes parking lot on GGG. The schedule of dates list the group outings of the Stewards of the Northern Kettle Moraine and are planned to optimize our collective efforts. We would like to accommodate additional dates and times that better fit any interested individuals or groups; please call Connie with any requests or proposals.
The Friends of the Kettle Moraine have long been committed to preserving and protecting our land and water. We hope by volunteering, you will experience the deep rewards that come from contributing to the preservation of biodiversity in the Kettle Moraine State Forest-Northern Unit. Please contact Connie Ramthun, Volunteer Coordinator, with any questions or concerns. She will put you on the emailing list with details of the work involved, what to wear and what to bring. You will also get a reminder on the workdays a few days beforehand.
This event is weather-dependent.
