North Shore Milwaukee Events in March 2025
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
The North Shore of Milwaukee is brimming with engaging events in March. Here's a curated list to help you plan your activities.
The Ecology and Management of Invasive Species
Join Lynden Sculpture Garden’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 tools used 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.
