Brush Removal - Kickapoo Caverns, Crawford Co.
Curious about bat conservation above the ground and away from caverns? Join the Land Management team at Kickapoo Caverns nature preserve on Saturday, July 18th for a community work party celebrating bat conservation at this special nature preserve. We will enjoy refreshments, talk about the Conservancy's bat conservation projects, and remove invasive brush hindering bat habitat. Bring along your friends and family to learn about how bats, dead trees, prescribed fire, and leaf litter all impact the survival of bats in the Driftless Area. Explore the woods in search of unique woodland plants and state listed bird species as you work, as well! (We will not be going into the cave on this work day.)
