Hello!
As most of you have probably seen, we are still working with volunteers in a program called, “Working Together, Separately”. This allows volunteers to work with us and have fun working on projects in a safe way. You can volunteer individually, or as a family. Just wanted to show some of the volunteers who have helped us out during these times and the projects we have going on as well. During the month of June, we had 15 volunteers and 240 hours for conservation crew!
Planting in the prairie and woodland is always a big part of our restoration projects during the summer. This family helped plant around 75 plants! They planted some Northern Sea Oats (Chasmanthium latifolium) in the woodland and a variety of other natives in the prairie. A total of 400 plants have been planted in the prairie and woodland!

Another project that we have been working on is building critter castles. Critter castles are all around the site throughout the woodland area. These structures are for animals to hide in and for shelter. The logs and brush used are from woodland clean up. Here, one of our conservation interns, Ryan, is adding to the base of the castle
A finished critter castle!
Something else that we have been working on is the stage at the outdoor classroom. It has been on our list for a while now, and it’s finally completed! One of our new volunteers, Marta, enjoyed prepping and staining the stage. It looks great!
These are just a few projects that we have been working on. We have also done a bunch of weeding, mulching, and invasive removal as well. We just wanted to say a huge thank you to those that have been helping us out during these times! Our fantastic Conservation Crew members have been coming in to help us keep up with our many restoration projects, as well as people working from home on projects. We have been keeping busy with our crew on numerous projects and keeping up with them, and we are so happy we are able to create a program like this!
THANK YOU!
