SUMMARY:Hastings SNA Volunteer Day
DESCRIPTION:Help Remove Buckthorn Encroachment on Snow Trillium Population \nWhere: Hastings Scientific and Natural Area\, Hastings\, MN\nWhen: Sunday March 26th\, 2023\, 9:00 a.m. to 12:00p.m.\nLeader: Jennifer Kamm \nPlease join your fellow MNNPS members in an effort to remove buckthorn that is encroaching on a snow trillium population at Hastings SNA. We will be cutting and treating the buckthorn and stacking the cuttings. We will have plenty of tools for everyone. We will meet at the CP Adams City Park parking lot on the north side of Leduc Drive and walk to our treatment area on the south side of Leduc Drive in the south unit of the SNA. We will go to Schoolhouse Scoop for ice cream when we finish. \nHastings SNA consists of two parcels totaling 64.9 acres. The southeast unit where we will be working\, is about 43 acres and dominated by mesic oak forest\, with old-growth red oak\, sugar maple\, and basswood on steep north-facing bluffs and bluff tops. Sugar maple-basswood forest covers a small section of the mid-slope\, and emergent marsh\, pond and floodplain forest cover low-lying areas. Talus slopes and steep escarpments of dolomitic limestone provide habitat for mosses\, lichens\, and liverworts. The northwest parcel\, about 26 acres\, is entirely in the Vermillion/Mississippi River floodplain and consists of floodplain forest and emergent marsh. The Vermillion River covers about 3 acres here as it meanders through this parcel. Silver maple dominates the forest\, with green ash and American elm. The site topography is varied\, with a 52-meter (170 feet) difference in elevation across the site. \nThis event is for members of the MN Native Plant Society only and will be limited to 20 registrants. \nDownload the flyer for maps\, directions\, and more information: MNNPS – Hastings SNA Volunteer Day \nTo register for this event please contact:\nEvent Coordinator: Jennifer Kamm\, jennifer.kamm@stantec.com or 612-875-0543 \nPlease register by March 20th
