SUMMARY: Event Restoration is for the Birds - Lizard Haven
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Help us improve the bird habitat of the south meadow. We are working to reverse the trend of declining bird populations (were you aware that we have lost 30% of our global bird populations?).  With the guidance of the UW Restoration Ecology Network, we'll be removing blackberry to make way for native plants that are the base of the food web. We are calling the site Lizard Haven due to the many northern alligator lizards seen in the area (though not this time of year). Our primary task will be moving blackberry canes and digging up blackberry roots. We'll have pitchforks, rakes, hand tillers, and heavy duty shovels to accomplish our task.  

As an added perk, we will get a short lesson on restoration ecology techniques or philosophy from current students of the curriculum.
