Help Restore Natural Areas at a Volunteer Work Day

Our volunteer team has made great progress this winter cutting and burning invasive brush. We’ve worked in the wooded areas in the Cherokee Marsh South Unit, the woods adjacent to Westport Meadows Park, and most recently, at Yahara Heights County Park / Cherokee Marsh Natural Resource Area.

Volunteers cut brush with loppers and carry the cut branches to brush piles. If we get more snow, we may also burn brush piles. No experience is needed. Tools and training are provided.

We can always use more help. There is a work day (usually a 3–4 hours) almost every week. The day of the week may vary. As spring arrives, work will switch from brush-burning to pulling invasive species such as garlic mustard and dame's rocket.
