Volunteer with the Wisconsin State Park System

Haskell Noyes SNA is 61 acres of prime dry-mesic forest as it was never heavily logged or clear cut during the logging era of the 19^th century.  The land was purchased in 1947 to prevent imminent logging and was designated a state natural area in 1952.  It has a rich diversity of plants that are under threat from invasive species, such as garlic mustard and buckthorn.  Because of our volunteer effort, we are finding fewer and fewer of these plants throughout this SNA.

Volunteer days for garlic mustard removal in Haskell Noyes SNA are as follows.

Tuesdays, May 5th, 12th, 19th, 26th, and June 2nd from 5 pm to 7 pm. 

Thursdays, May 7^th 14^th, 21st, 28th, and June 4th^th from 5 pm to 7 pm.

Saturdays, May 9^th, 16^th, 23rd, 30th, and June 6^th from 9 am to noon. 

Meet at the Haskell Noyes parking lot on GGG.

The schedule of dates list the group outings of the Stewards of the Northern Kettle Moraine and are planned to optimize our collective efforts. We would like to accommodate additional dates and times that better fit any interested individuals or groups; please call Connie at 920-533-8939 with any requests or proposals.  We will not be volunteering in August, but will start again in fall with woody invasive species removal. Our fall volunteer schedule will be in the next issue of the Friend’s newsletter.

The Friends of the Kettle Moraine have long been committed to preserving and protecting our land and water.  We hope by volunteering, you will experience the deep rewards that come from contributing to the preservation of biodiversity in the Kettle Moraine State Forest-Northern Unit.

Please contact Connie Ramthun, Volunteer Coordinator, with any questions or concerns.  She will put you on the emailing list with details of the work involved, what to wear and what to bring.  Her email address is connieramthun@gmail.com.  You will also get a reminder on the workdays a few days beforehand.
