Last Minute Call for Volunteers!

Now is the time to strike to get rid of the burdock at Buffalo Speaks Reserve!
The eradication of this intrusive invasive will be at the Northern Prairie planting on the wooded edge.

We need YOU, our dedicated volunteers, THIS MONDAY, to help with the burdock removal for the future health and wellness of the Buffalo Speaks Reserve. We hope you can join us, the more us to help the easier the work.

The area should be shaded by noon so you’ll be safe from the sun. Jim will be there with the truck to collect the the bothersome burdock, no lugging weed bags around. If you make it to the end of the removal you may be treated to a burdock bonfire!

Join MAS to help weed at Buffalo Speaks Reserve: Prairie Site

RSVP to Randy via email pfsco@wi.rr.com to attend.

As you enter the drive look for red flagging on the lawn to the left of the drive, these will guide you to the planting area in the back where the cars can park next to the planting. 

If you find yourself a little lost please contact Randy on his cell phone to guide you to the site: 715 820-2721.

Bring your own drinking water and bug spray.

Randy also provides an educational component to the evening the directly relates to the work being done at the site. Often he features photos from the previous weed-outs including, photo plates of wildlife, bugs and plants that are unusual or have significance to MAS’s projects.

We hope you can join us!

If you can't labor, bring a folding chair and visit! Any support is welcome.

Volunteer to Help Regrade Kolterman Field

Volunteer to Help Regrade Kolterman Field

MAS needs your help for the regrading project at Kolterman Field. Google Maps Link to Location

Our farmer, Scott Franke, will use his backhoe to begin decommissioning agricultural drain tile and pull up the lower terrace soil. There will be work picking up pieces of tile and throwing them into a wagon.

We will also need grading spotters to keep an eye out for Indian artifacts on the surface of any spread of soil. By mid-day we expect to begin digging the lower terrace. We will need more spotters by then and would be grateful for your help.

Please feel free to drop in at whatever time you can from 9:30A - 5:00P. Any help or time you can give is greatly appreciated!

If you are unable to work, or are simply out to take pictures, a lawn chair makes sense to be comfortable. You could be lucky enough to spot one of the neighborhood whoopers.

Bring plenty of drinking water and a hard garden rake, if you have one available to help with tile removal .
