Hackmatack Stewardship Workday
February 23 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Friends of Hackmatack will host a stewardship event this Sunday, February 23rd, from 9 a.m. to noon at Tamarack West, owned by Openlands. Join us as we continue our brush-clearing work along Tryon Grove Road at the front of the site and help unveil this beautiful scenic area, revealing the restored prairie, oak savannas, and Glacial Park.
Experienced chainsaw operators with full personal protective equipment are welcome to bring their gear to cut. Others can help by hauling brush to the piles.
Please be aware that the entrance may be muddy due to melting snow and warmer temperatures. We will ensure that everyone can enter and exit safely. Wear clothes and shoes that can get dirty, and bring your own drinking water. Protective clothing, such as long pants (not leggings), is recommended. We will provide hand tools, work gloves, safety glasses, and a few snacks.
The Tamarack West site is on the south side of Tryon Grove Road, 1.2 miles west of the intersection of Routes 12, 31 and Tryon Grove Road. A map to the site from the intersection of Routes 12 and 31 and Tryon Grove Road is shown by clicking the following button.
