Fall is a good time to do habitat work on native prairies. On Saturday November 5th, at 1 pm, we are looking for volunteers to help restore the Blackhawk Wildlife Area Bluff Prairie.

Join Naturalist Tony Vorwald as you work to remove unwanted woody and harmful invasive species from this small but unique remnant prairie. Volunteers will also have the opportunity to help harvest native prairie seed that will aid in the hill prairies restoration.

This program is free.

Dress for the weather, and bring your preferred work gloves. Hand tools will be provided.

Please register 48 hours in advance. To register call Jackson County Conservation at (563) 652-3783 or email tvorwald@jacksoncounty.iowa.gov.
