Looking for something to do the day after Halloween to fight off the Sunday-scaries?

Come to Superior Street Prairie for some fresh autumn air! Volunteers will continue seasonal priorities like collecting seeds and preparing burn breaks. All are welcome - no experience necessary!

This past weekend, 8 stewards joined together to brushcut, rake, and leaf blow - and the most important burn break is just minutes of work away from being finished!

This week, let’s make sure SSP gets burned and finish that burn break! Other priorities include seed gathering and planning/scouting for winter.

Join in Saturday, October 24th, from 1 PM - 4 PM 😀

(Honestly apologies if the first video makes you motion sick, but I thought it would feel more action-packed if there was camera movement.)

Another great restoration workday at SSP achieved! Have you ever seen so many brush cutters in action? Volunteers have been hard at work at SSP using brush cutters, leaf blowers, and rakes to create burn breaks for an upcoming prescribed burn.

Join next Saturday, October 24th at 1pm to continue this awesome work!

Folks will continue gathering native seeds and preparing burn breaks. All are welcome to join in - no experience necessary!

*What’s a good emoji for “great company”?!

What will winter steward workdays look like after the Burn-Break-a-Palooza on Oct 10?! (RSVP in the bio!)

Stewards work on removing brush from Superior Street to open up the canopy and allow more sun to reach native plants in the understory ☀️ 🌼 All the while, volunteers enjoy the warmth of a brush pile fire and each other’s company 🔥 ❄️ (Think that’s cheesy? Try a baked potato cooked over the fire with some cheddar sprinkled on top!)

Join the Superior Street Prairie Burn-Break-a-Palooza on Oct. 10! RSVP link can be found in the bio 😀
