Join Lynden’s land managers for a walk around the grounds to discover Lynden’s urban forest in early summer. On this walk we will discuss many of the tree and shrub species that make up Lynden's urban forest and their place within Lynden’s ecology and its plant communities. Attendees will learn about the management techniques we useand the tree inventory and plan that guide our management as we stroll throughout the grounds. Please bring water and dress for the weather. These workshops are made possible, in part, by a Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Invasive Species Grant.
Make a day of it: join Lynden's Greenwood Gathering: Carvers' Meet-Up [link] after the walk.
Land Stewardship at Lynden
The Lynden Sculpture Garden is transforming its natural habitats and formal landscapes into sustainable and diverse ecosystems that highlight their natural beauty. Our goal is to steward healthy habitats for an array of native plants and wildlife while adding a vibrant mosaic of color and texture to this sculptural landscape through every season. With over 40 acres and more than half a dozen specialized garden spaces, the Lynden provides many volunteer and learning opportunities, from removing invasive species to planting new trees and plugs, weeding, pruning, collecting, and spreading seeds. With a small land staff, volunteer help is essential to the evolution and restoration of the Lynden grounds.
