The Prairie Enthusiasts Work Day

Saturday, August 8, 2015 -  9 am to noon

Work Party at Black Earth Rettenmund Prairie

Black Earth Rettenmund Prairie State Natural Area is an outstanding prairie remnant owned by The Prairie Enthusiasts. This year the vegetation is flourishing (due to the great spring burns and excellent rainfall). Lots of flowers blooming - quite a sit to see! The Liatris, flowering spurge and many others will be in full bloom. There are weeds and brush to remove, which will help the prairie thrive.

Leaders: Kathie Brock and Willis Brown. For questions or details, call Kathie at 238-5050 (preferred) or 225-8239 (cell), or Willis (608-316-5144 or webrown3@hotmail.com). Directions: Reach the Village of Black Earth on U.S. 14. Follow Highway 78 through the village and go west on County Highway KP 1.1 miles, then south on County F 0.25 mile, then west on Fesenfeld Road 0.2 mile to the entrance (sign and kiosk). Park on the north side of the road.
