Holm-Rader Farm Conservation Easement Stewardship Party

February 3

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 protected. This area is exceptionally beautiful and has a wide meadow and woodlot. In this stewardship party, we will be tackling ivy that is growing up trees, and removing plant protectors from trees that have been planted in the riparian zone. We may also find some hawthorn to remove! This is an exciting property that we don’t often get to visit and we encourage you to join us.

Thursday, February 3
10:00 am – 2:00 pm
Holm-Rader Farm Conservation Easement, Rochester

Volunteers must fill out an annual Volunteer Waiver before volunteering with CLT. Minors must be accompanied by an adult or have both pages of the Minor Waiver Release Form filled out ahead of time. You may print and fill out your waiver ahead of time and bring to the event or send us a photo of your completed waiver. We will also have extra waivers at the event. Completed waivers, questions, and concerns can be emailed to [email protected].
