Stewards of Kleinstuck

We were 13 - working Sokers this Sunday July 26th, 2009, that cleaned

out Section 5A with primary focus on Norway maples, Bittersweet,

Honeysuckle and Winged wahoo. The area was dramatically changed

from clearing out the thick understory. Nate marked all the native

trees with green paint (dogwoods, hawthorns) to protect them from our

aggresive onslaught. He hopes that next spring we will see them

flowering from the path. We also had a visitation from our youngest

SoK member Theo Fuller, as well as young worker from Latvia, Zane

Ramane.

After the work event, Paul held a short seminar about methods used to

control invasives, instructed us on herbicide use and toxicity

principles, and demonstrated how to make dabbers for herbicide

application. We made 2 dabbers from parts donated by DNR and Paul.

These have designated for SoK.
