Cedar Lake Stewardship
Neighbors joined forces this fall to restore the east side of Cedar Lake through the DNR School Forest initiative — planting sedges, reforesting trails and removing invasive buckthorn to help the natural area heal.
The east side of Cedar Lake, a natural preserve in the Chain of Lakes, is being celebrated through the Cedar Lake DNR School Forest initiative. Neighbors met throughout October for community workdays, focusing on rewilding two areas damaged by heavy foot and bike traffic near Cedar Lake East (Hidden) Beach. Volunteers planted sedges, reforested a path and removed buckthorn. Check out the School Forest area again in the spring on your way to the beach! (Images: Paula Chesley)
