Pipestone Creek Conservation Land overlooks the meandering Pipestone Creek as well as an oxbow lake. This land supports moose, deer, and many other types of wildlife, and is well frequented by visitors who enjoy the peaceful scenery. Just like on some of our other conservation lands, here we fight to protect trees in the Prunus family (e.g. cherry trees) and others from black knot fungus, which grows within and on the outside of branches, eventually killing the tree. At this event we will remove as much fungus as we can to help the trees thrive.
We will meet at Pipestone Creek promptly at 10:00 AM, and leave the site by 2:30 PM at the latest. We will be using bleach to sanitize tools at this event. Additional information will be sent to you several days in advance of the event.
What to wear and bring:
Warm and comfortable winter boots
Layers of winter clothing, including toque, good gloves or mittens, and warm socks
A lunch and lots of water
Snowshoes if you have them
Gaiters if you have them
