1. The site is a former woods, but it has been significantly degraded by the clear-cutting process. Nevertheless, there are some but not a lot of woodland/woodland edge plants. We saw pennsylvania sedge, columbine, culvers root, prairie and woodland violets, solomon's plume/seal, false lily of the valley, monarda. After the rains in the next few days it is possible that more will pop.
2. Bring a trowel, pots, gloves, water and other personal supplies. If you are able to, bring a tray, sled, wagon or wheelbarrow to haul plants back to vehicles. The site is open and flat so the vehicles will not be a long way away.
3. You will be able to keep plants for your own use. However, we also have a site at which we can plant them (Celebration Lutheran, Sartell). We'll take plants there and plant them at the end of the evening.
4. When you get there we may ask you to sign an injury waiver form.
5. Although we may schedule another date later in the year (no immediate plans to build on the site are currently in place) we would ask you to not return to the site individually at random times.
