Invasive Species Removal in Birch Island Woods Conservation Area

Location: Birch Island Rd. and Harlan Dr. (44°53’01.2″N 93°27’46.3″W)

Help Restore Birch Island Woods by volunteering to cut and pull buckthorn from the BIWCA.

Meet at the intersection of Birch Island Rd. and Harlan Dr. (on the south side of the BIWCA)

A limited number of handsaws, pruners, loppers, and pullers will be available, so bring your own tools if you’d like. The city of Eden Prairie will supply herbicide daubers and gloves (you may bring your own gloves if you’d like).

Training on how to identify, cut and treat with herbicide, and pull (no herbicide required) buckthorn will be provided at the event.

All participants must sign a volunteer waiver form. Kids (12+) may participate with a parent/guardian signature on their volunteer waiver form. Only adults (18+) can use herbicide daubers.

Please RSVP the event leader, so we know you are coming!
