KinniRiverCleanUp 2020

February 10, 2020 by Molly Barritt 1 Comment

Either long-standing or new, we at the Kinnickinnic River Land Trust value our important volunteers and the continued effort to steward and protect the Kinni. Thank you so much for serving through our annual KinniRiverCleanUp over the last 26 years.

COVID-19 and the impacts its having on your communities are vast and we recognize that our collective day-to-day has changed. As a result, we are modifying this year’s event to promote our environment, while keeping each other safe.

Rather than an organized gathering this year, we encourage you this Earth Week, April 19 – 25, 2020, to get outside, explore, and pick up a little trash along the way. Take a stroll in your neighborhood or along your favorite spots on the Kinni and see how much you can pick up. We can work together during this time of seclusion to make a positive impact in our communities. Please use CDC recommended best practices for social distancing while out and about. KRLT is looking for additional ways to support volunteers this year in light of these changes and will be following up with more information. While you are out helping to keep the Earth clean, tag your photos with #kinnicleanup on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Show everyone that #natureisntcancelled

KRLT Launches Prairie Oak Savanna Restoration

November 8, 2019 by Molly Barritt Leave a Comment

Kinnickinnic River Land Trust has been working 25 years to protect the natural resources and scenic beauty of the Kinnickinnic River and its watershed. We are excited to announce the beginning stages of the restoration of our Trumpeter Swan Preserve, located in the headwaters of the Kinnickinnic River just east of Roberts, WI. Using an existing forest stewardship management plan and insights from UW-RF, our goal is to restore the area to a native prairie and oak savanna by addressing overdue management of the pine plantation and other invasive trees and plant species. This will allow the remaining oaks to thrive and the site to be more suited for future seeding of native prairie grasses, wildflowers, and oak savanna habitat. Additionally, this management strategy will improve access to the property and encourage partnerships with the community and natural resource organizations.

Less than 1% of native prairie in Wisconsin exists today, our restoration plan will help to work towards reaching regional prairie restoration goals identified by the state of Wisconsin’s Habitat Restoration Area plan (HRA). Restoring the land with native plants, will help to provide a natural filter to water entering the river and create habitat for native wildlife such as pollinators and songbirds. Trumpeter Swan Preserve will serve as an outdoor education space, allowing public recreational use including hiking, fishing, snowshoeing, and other outdoor activities.

We are looking for volunteers, who will spend 1-4 hours serving as the eyes and ears for the KRLT.
NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED, but familiarity with maps, aerial photos, and field navigation is helpful.

Classroom Training
Time: 9:30 a.m. – 10:15 a.m.

Field Training
Time: 10:30 a.m. – noon
