Women's* Restoration Workday at Holy Wisdom Monastery
Event Dates
- Thursday, 06/12/2025 12:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Event Description
We're partnering with the land restoration team at Holy Wisdom Monastery to host a Women's* Restoration Workday!
Why a Women's* Workday? These workdays are meant to create an intentional space for women, folks who are non-binary, transgender, and other gender minorities* to build community in Dane County restoration work. This summer shift will target invasive species in effort to promote high ecological diversity in our prairies, oak savannas, and oak woodlands.
Sign-Up is Required: https://signup.com/go/yHZiFuP
Arrive by 11:50 am as we plan to start at 12:00 pm sharp. In case of cancellation due to weather, a notification will be made via email and phone to participants who have signed up.
About:
During these workdays, staff and volunteers work to restore land by removing invasive herbaceous weeds invading the desired habitat (such as garlic mustard, dames rocket, and japense hedge parsley). We will give an introduction and training to those unfamiliar to this workday. Volunteers should dress for and be ready to work in most weather conditions, and wear clothing that you don't mind working in. Boots or other closed-toe shoes/work shoes are required. Bring drinking water, a snack, and anything else you might need to be comfortable.
Additional details are in the above sign-up link.
