Special Restoration Workday at Stewart Lake

Join the Volunteer Land Stewards at Stewart Lake for a special restoration workday in the 'Blue View Prairie' portion of the park (behind the 400 block of Blue View Drive in Mt Horeb). This small 3-4 acre prairie is in the Nordic Hills area and has a beautiful view Blue Mounds to the west. This site has been undergoing restoration for the past 7 years and progressing well. Time will be spent cutting boughs and branches from a fallen oak tree and piling into a brush pile, some brush cutter work, cutting/treating invasive woody vegetation, collecting and spreading seeds.

Please come a few hours helping to restore this beautiful area of the park. Your restoration work will be greatly appreciated.
