The Lake Superior National Estuarine Research Reserve and Friends of the Lake Superior Reserve are hosting a volunteer event focused on removing Spotted Knapweed from the Lot #5 section of Wisconsin Point. We will be hand-pulling Spotted Knapweed to help local plants thrive. Spotted Knapweed is a prolific non-local plant that, when widespread, can prevent native plants from growing and decrease the biodiversity of the habitat. On July 19th, community members of all ages are invited to the point to support healthy ecosystems for local, native plants. No prior experience with Spotted Knapweed is required. This event will involve physical activity like walking, crouching, kneeling, and pulling. Let us know you are joining us for this event by signing up at this link:
