We've helped prepare the area for prescribed fires, and hopefully the area has been burned already. We'll be targeting Sericea Lespedeza, a persistant non-native invasive species that doesn't provide much benefit to native wildlife, and tends to crowd out beneficial native species of forbs and grasses. Sericea Lespedeza is one of the first plants to green up in the spring. We'll be spraying the old scale house field.
Volunteers are needed to help spot-spraying areas where we've identified that the S. Lespedeza is growing among beneficial natives, and possibly to assist using a boom sprayer in smaller isolated patches. Larger swaths of the scale house field will be sprayed following departure of volunteers.

Please wear boots, brush clothes, bug spray, glasses, and PPE. Some may prefer to even wear a mask. If you have an sprayer, hand pumped, backpack, or power sprayer that fits on truck/atv, and don't mind bringing it, we'll likely be able to put it to use. Meet at the interior parking lot.
