What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Program 1
Land Management: The volunteer work days were spent at Buffalo Skull, Engelwood, and Tewksbury properties where we concetrated on brush clearing and seed collecting with the goal of improving prairie and oak savanna habitat. These are very rare and special ecosystems that are becoming even rarer without management. The main species targeted for removal were invasives such as Buckthorn and Honeysuckle, while some native species such as Red Oak and Red Cedar were removed from prairie areas. Garlic Mustard continued to be pulled wherever found. The Eco Club from Osceola High School helped with seed collection and burning brush piles. We planted over 50 pounds of seeds from native species of plants to be used in replanting areas cleared of brush and invasives. Several species were seeded into the degraded grassland at Buffalo Skull. We conducted a basic training class to become a qualified crew member for prescribed fires, and are currently engaged in building an organized program for planning and implementing fire as a habitat restoration tool for restoring our prairies and oak savannas.
Program 2
Public Relations: We had 118 volunteers contribute 1057 work hours this year. The local high school Eco Club participated in some of the work days. Provided free public access on over 1500 acres for hiking, hunting, cross country skiing, and other outdoor based activities. Maintained cross country ski trails. Mailed over 600 newletters. Kept Facebook page up to date.
Program 3
Land Protection: We completed and signed a 38 acre Conservation Easement on land adjacent to St. Croix National Scenic Riveray land. Continue to monitor the local area for conservation easements and purchase of vulnerable land.
