We're partnering with the land restoration team at Holy Wisdom Monastery to host a Women's* Restoration Workday! 

Why a Women's* Workday? These workdays are meant to create an intentional space for women, folks who are non-binary, transgender, and other gender minorities* to build community in Dane County restoration work. This summer shift will target invasive species in effort to promote high ecological diversity in our prairies, oak savannas, and oak woodlands.  During these workdays, staff and volunteers work to restore land by removing invasive herbaceous weeds invading the desired habitat (such as garlic mustard, dames rocket, and japense hedge parsley). We will give an introduction and training to those unfamiliar to this workday.

The Women and Gender Minorities workdays are made possible in part by funding from the Foundation for Dane County Parks and A Fund For Women! 

Location:
