Invitation to Tour the Propery 2011
July 24, 2011 (Sunday evening) Rare Earth Farm - Bauer-Beckwith Property Green County, WI
Come hike comfortable mowed trails on our managed 82 rolling acres, offering dry upland prairie remnants, oak savanna openings, brush-free oak woodlands, a showy 18-acre planted prairie of great richness, along with moist, low areas newly seeded, and more. Pay your respects to at risk species such as American gromwell, giant yellow hyssop, prairie turnip, plains muhly grass, and others. Discover how restoration efforts can peacefully co-exist with Managed Forest Land areas, and see what only ten years of steady restoration, regular seed collection and dispersal, coupled with relentless invasive species control, and prescribed fire, can accomplish.
