- **Event Name**: Work Session – 8th Annual Death to Privet!
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 14 Mar, 2026 at 09:00 am – Sat, 14 Mar, 2026 at 11:00 am
- **Event Description**: The 8th Annual Death to Privet is at 1787 Holford this year. Happily, the Preserve at 1787 Holford is nearly clear of privet. So why do we have our Death to Privet there this year? Because when there was a lot of privet there, the bushes dropped thousands of pretty, red berries.

The seeds in those berries don’t all start growing at the same time. Some will stay dormant for several years before they put out roots and a stalk. Also, birds eat the berries from other areas and drop the seeds where we don’t want them. So, we search the area for newly arrived young plants and remove them before they get big enough to push out our native plants and drop more seeds.

We break into teams and each team has a knowledgeable volunteer, so you know exactly what to do.

For last-minute information, especially if the weather is questionable, check our website or Facebook page for updates, including dates and locations which may change because of conditions. We don’t want anyone working in the forest or on the prairie if there is a chance of lightning strikes.

IMPORTANT: Each volunteer, including children must submit this Liability Form once a year.

Close-toed shoes are mandatory. Heavy work gloves, long pants, and protective eyewear are recommended for your protection from poison ivy and thorns.
