Invasive Species Removal – Birch Island Woods

Help preserve Birch Island Woods Conservation Area, by cutting and removing buckthorn. The city of Eden Prairie will supply herbicide daubers and gloves (you may bring your own gloves if you’d like). Please bring any handsaws and loppers you wish to bring, a limited selection of them will be available if you don’t bring them. Kids ages 12 and up may come with parent/guardian signature on their volunteer form, however, only adults (18+) can use the herbicide daubers. Training on how to identify and pull buckthorn will be provided at the event. Volunteers should meet in the parking area just inside the park entrance.
