Invasive Tree and Shrub Removal Winter Workdays at Lower Mud Lake

Join Friends of Lower Mud Lake for our volunteer-led winter workdays! We will be working in two oak woodlands. One is an upland area and is home to a Native American linear mound. We have made great progress in opening up the area around the mound, but much still needs to be done. The second oak woodland is in a wetter area, close to a sedge meadow.

Details: Sawyers and haulers are needed. Sawyers bring their own equipment and safety gear. Haulers do just that–haul branches and brush into brush piles for later burning. Safety helmets, gloves, loppers provided for haulers.

What to wear/bring: Dress for the weather in layers–you will get hot as we work! Sturdy work boots are recommended. Bring your own water/beverage. A snack will be provided during break time.

Registration required: Sign up here!
