When you have a small prairie like ours, and it skirts a healthy creek and has heavy rain from time to time, the riparian forest along the edge of the creek is robust enough to want to expand into the prairie. Since we want our prairie to stay prairie, several times a year we lop back the encroaching trees and other woody species. Come and help us!We break into teams and each team has a knowledgeable volunteer, so you know exactly what to do.
For last-minute information, especially if the weather is questionable, check our website or Facebook page for updates, including dates and locations which may change because of conditions. We don’t want anyone working in the forest or on the prairie if there is a chance of lightning strikes.
IMPORTANT: Each volunteer, including children must submit our Liability Form once a year.
Safety Information:
BRING WATER and insect repellant.
Close-toed shoes are mandatory. Heavy work gloves, long pants, and protective eyewear are recommended for your protection from poison ivy and thorns.
If you have them, bring loppers and/or small tree saws. (No power tools.)
All participants and the parents of minors must sign our Liability Waiver.
Youth under 18 must be accompanied by an adult; no drop off/pick up of those under 18.
For Master Naturalists, this may count as Volunteer Hours on the Preservation Society for Spring Creek Forest project.
