Buckthorn Removal Volunteer Day at RBSRA!!!

Sunday, May 17th

1:00 – 3:00 pm

 

 

Come help the Bong Naturalist Association (BNA) clear Buckthorn from around the Richard Bong State Recreation Area (RBSRA) Visitor Center on Sunday May 17th from 1:00 – 3:00 pm.

Near the Bong Visitor Center we have some beautiful, mature hardwood trees. Unfortunately, underneath these trees, Buckthorn has moved in!

Will you help us make this park area more appealing?  The park staff cannot do a prescribed burn here as it is too close to buildings so it has to be done manually.

    • Be sure to wear long pants, a long sleeve shirt and sturdy shoes. Bring safety glasses and work gloves (Buckthorn).
    • BNA will provide loppers.
    • A certified BNA volunteer will treat the stumps and fellow volunteers will haul away the piles brush.
    • Stay and help us for as long as you like.

Note:  If you have school service hours to fulfill, we can sign off on your time spent volunteering.

Just a reminder that all events require a Wisconsin State Park entrance sticker or daily entrance fee.
