Field TripsTour of Blueberry Hill and Ulrich prairie Location: West Lakeland Township, MN This site serves as a fine example of the native grasses and wildflowers that dominated the area before settlement. Wayne Huhnke, owner of Kinnickinnic Natives, will be our guide as he takes us through the restoration and management of this remnant. Directions: We will meet at a small Oak Savanna and Native prairie area known locally as Blueberry Hill. The site located just south of Bayport at Hwy 95 & Quant Avenue The site has a commanding view of the St. Croix Valley looking over to Hudson, WI. Following the tour, we will car pool to the Ulrich’s residence to tour the planted prairie where the owners are attempting to recreate an oak savanna from a cornfield development on a small acreage site. This is an opportunity to compare a planted prairie with a restored prairie where both projects have similarities in their size, time frames, and management for invasive species. We expect Liatris species and leadplant to be in bloom. Directions for second tour: Joan and Andy Ulrich Residence Tour 2090 Oriole Avenue North, West Lakeland Township, MN 55082 Note: Please park on one side of street in front of the home to minimize congestion. Refreshments served at Ulrich’s after tours. Please RSVP to Joan at joan.ulrich@comcast.net or call (651-436-5329). | Home | Who We Are | Chapters | Conference Info | Events | Talk To Us | |
