Friends of Powers Bluff Prairie Tour Join us Tuesday, August 18th at 5pm for a special tour of the Friends of Powers Bluff prairie plantings with Dr. Robert Freckmann and the Wood County Master Gardeners. The Friends of Powers Bluff prairie planting committee has planted more than 700 native plants this year, with an emphasis on plants that attract pollinators and butterflies. Central Wisconsin Wild Ones proudly donated half of these plants! There are currently seven active planting plots. The event will begin with approximately 45 minutes discussing possibilities for native plants on the prairie, followed by a drive to the bluff for another 45 minutes exploring the site and plantings.
With this summer’s dry conditions, volunteers have also been helping water the new plantings and support their establishment. Come learn more about this growing prairie restoration project and the native plants helping bring pollinators and other wildlife to Powers Bluff.
