Join Lynden’s land management team for a workshop that dives into the ecology and management of invasive species. Lynden staff use a variety of tools to manage invasive species including prescribed fire, prescribed browsing by goats, selective herbicide application, hand pulling, and more. The Lynden Invasive Species Management workshops are designed for everyone: from those with no knowledge of invasive species, to the backyard native plant enthusiast, to the professional managing many acres. Each workshop will be specific to the plants which are best controlled at that time of year. Participants will explore the identification and ecology of different invasive species, and the ways they can be managed. After a short presentation on identification and management methods, participants will have an opportunity for hands-on experience with some of the tools we work with here at Lynden.

Dress appropriately for the weather and for outdoor work (don't forget closed-toe shoes), and bring work gloves if you have them.

These workshops are made possible, in part, by a Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Invasive Species Grant.

Join us for the summer/fall session of Lynden’s Greenwood Gathering, an open-ended carving event where both new and returning participants can bring their current or finished carving projects to share with fellow woodcarvers. Gather around the campfire to carve, exchange ideas, share techniques, and draw inspiration from each other’s work. The gatherings will include occasional themed demonstrations and relevant garden tours.

Enjoy a day in Lynden’s back acres to carve, share, and connect. We’ll take a break from carving to eat lunch (please pack your own) and make tea from foraged plants. Dress for the outdoors and consider bringing sunscreen and bug repellent. While we’ll provide some green wood for starting new projects, please bring your own carving tools (Mora knives will be available for purchase, or order yours, above). We have tree stumps around the fire for seating, but if you prefer something more comfortable, bring a camp chair. Suitable for ages 16 and up.
