VSN thought you might be interested in this field-day just south of Gays Mills sponsored by our friends in the Kickapoo Initiative.

 

 

Kickapoo Neighbors,
 
Come join us Oct 17th at 9AM just south of Gays Mills for a hike and discussion with Jesse Bennet of Driftless Land Stewardship Llc. http://www.driftlesslandstewardship.com/
 
Jessie will lead a discussion on a wide range of issues of forest health and ecology of plant and animal communities including:
• pre-settlement conditions
• invasive plants
• clues to how our land has been managed in the past
• different management techniques to meet varied landowner goals
Please bring a bag lunch and water come with your hiking shoes and lots of questions. Our next gathering will be the third Saturday in January (Jan. 13th)-speaker to be announced.
