Stew Crew this week will be removing Wild Parsnip seedheads at Fox Hill Nature Preserve. Many of you have probably noticed the yellow blooms of parsnip along roadsides for a few weeks now, and there is a mid-size population at Fox Hill that could use our help. This workday will consist of cutting and bagging the seedheads before they can release seeds into the soil for next year. We’d love to see you there!
When & Where: Thursday, July 11 from 9-11 AM. Meet at the Fox Hill Nature Preserve parking lot on Sleeping Dragon Rd, 4214 Sleeping Dragon Road, West Bend, WI 53095.
Bring: long sleeved shirt and thick gloves (leather or thicker fabric works well). Wild Parsnip’s sap can cause burns and blistering when exposed to sunlight, so out of caution, long sleeves are required for this workday.
Stew crew events are subject to cancellation with inclement weather. Keep an eye on this page and your email for reminders and changes!
