Nitschke Mounds Care Day

  • Nitschke Mounds w5934 County Road E Burnett, WI, 53922 United States (map)

Take the opportunity to visit the Nitschke Mounds and help preserve the site on Sunday, November 26 from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. This Nitschke Mounds Care Day is weather dependent, and will cancel in the event of rain.

The volunteers will continue clearing buckthorn and other invasive plant species from the mounds. Stumps will be treated and the brush will be dragged out to burn piles. It is recommended that volunteers bring the following: water, appropriate clothing for the weather and woods, boots, and work gloves (if you have them, some spare sets will be provided). There will be safety glasses and some tools for brush clearing, but volunteers are welcome to supply their own clippers or small hand saws.

Kurt Sampson, the event coordinator, is planning a pot luck picnic break. Volunteers are encouraged to bring a small, simple dish to contribute to the picnic. Please provide your own water or beverage for the work day and the break.

If you are able to volunteer, please contact Kurt Sampson and tell him what you will be bringing for the lunch.
