WWA’s Cedar Creek Chapter partners with Pheasants Forever to remove Jackson Marsh Buckthorn
WWA Board Director Mike Depies led the Cedar Creek Chapter on a field day clearing buckthorn at Jackson Marsh in Washington County. WWA’s volunteers were joined by four members from the local Pheasants Forever chapter to spend a chilly February morning (high of 12 degrees) in Jackson Marsh. In a single morning, the chapter completed roughly a third of their bi-annual commitment to the DNR under the Adopt a Wildlife program, thoroughly removing all buckthorn from an area around the largest pond on the state property. The chapter plans to take advantage of WWA’s NEW Chapter grant program to build a wheelchair accessible duck blind at this pond this year. WWA participants included Jim Freck, Dennis Guttmann, Mike Depies, Greg Rausch, Al Klug, new volunteer Mike Delaney, Dave Elwing and Bruce Ross.
