As a great philosopher once said, there are only three things are guaranteed in life; taxes, the Minnesota Wild choking in the playoffs, and invasive vines getting cut at Guard Hill Preserve. Now it’s time to fulfill the prophecy. Join Preserve Manager Ben and Conservation Technician Stella at Guard Hill Preserve to cut invasive vines to help some beautiful trees in need. BUT WAIT, THERE IS MORE! Due to the high amounts of burning bush found within the preserve, we will also be selectively cutting burning bush as we scout the area for vines!
