Holm-Rader Conservation Easement Stewardship Party

June 27

Holm-Rader Farm Conservation Easement is a 91-acre parcel located on the Black River near Rochester. The river bends in a horseshoe around the property, allowing a mile of riverbank to be conserved. This area is exceptionally beautiful and has a wide meadow and woodlot.

In this stewardship party, we will be removing plant protectors from trees that have been planted in the riparian zone. As a bonus, there are a few trees with ivy that we can girdle. Last time we were here we saw horses galloping under a rainbow, and had so much fun we stayed late and ate cookies. RSVP below.

Monday, June 27
10:00 am – 2:00 pm
Holm-Rader Farm Conservation Easement, Rochester
