Spotted Knapweed Pull (co-host with the Lake Superior Reserve)
Register on Eventbrite by clicking HERE.
Join the Lake Superior Reserve in caring for Wisconsin Point as part of the celebration the day before Lake Superior Day!
The Lake Superior National Estuarine Research Reserve and Friends of the Lake Superior Reserve are hosting a volunteer opportunity focused on removing Spotted Knapweed from Wisconsin Point. Volunteers will meet at Lot #5 at 9:30 am for a brief introduction before dispersing to locations where Spotted Knapweed is the most prominent.
Spotted Knapweed is a prolific non-local plant that, when widespread, can prevent native plants from growing and decrease the biodiversity of the habitat. It's particularly effective at outcompeting other plants by exuding a chemical from it's roots, preventing the growth of other plants. For more information check out the DNR's info page on the plant:
Spotted knapweed | (Centaurea biebersteinii) | Wisconsin DNR
On July 18th, community members of all ages are invited to the point to support healthy ecosystems for local, native plants. No prior experience with Spotted Knapweed is required. This event will involve physical activity like walking, crouching, kneeling, and pulling.
Spotted Knapweed can cause skin irritation if direct contact is made with the plant. Gloves will be provided, but it is recommended to wear long sleeves, pants, and closed toed shoes.
We will provide:
Snacks
Water
Extra gloves for people who don't have any
Contractor bags
First aid kit
Hand wash station
You could bring:
A refillable water bottle
Gardening/work gloves if you have them (spotted knapweed can cause some skin irritation if you have direct contact with it)
Sunscreen
Bugspray
A pad to kneel on if you have one, since we are hand-pulling
This event is co-hosted by the Lake Superior National Estuarine Research Reserve and the Friends of the Lake Superior Reserve.
All activities are designed with access in mind. You may request an interpreter, materials in an alternative language or format, more information, or other services to make this program more accessible. Contact Melissa Burke via email at melissa.burke@wisc.edu or phone at 715-399-4138 ideally by June 19. Please reach out even after that date and we'll see what we can do. Services are provided at no cost to you.

Lake Superior is the cleanest, coldest, and clearest of the Great Lakes. The largest lake by surface area in the world, it fuels local shipping, commercial fishing, and recreational industries while providing clean drinking water and high quality of life. Every day, each of the 600,000 human residents of the Lake Superior basin interact with water from the lake for drinking, home use, beautiful views, recreation, and more. The lake is essential for countless fish, birds, and plants.
Lake Superior Day was started in the early 1990s to highlight the importance of this great water body to the basin’s environment and economy. Now it is held every 3rd Sunday in July.
