About the event
Join us as we tour the property of James MacDonald (MacD). This property is a family effort, with MacD carrying on the stewardship and land ethic of his parents. With decades of management, the prairies and oak woodlands of this property benefit from careful seeding using only locally gathered native plant seed, with the majority coming from nearby York Prairie State Natural Area. Jim is most recently passionate about restoring the oak woodlands on his property, which interestingly contain a remnant population of Cornus drummondii (Roughleaf Dogwood), a Great Plains species that is very uncommon in Wisconsin
