The work of restoration at Bremer Sanctuary, is nearly a year-round activity. Beginning in spring, the battle against invasives begins with several work days dedicated to control and eradication of honeysuckle. Through the summer other invasives such as teasel need to be monitored and eliminated. In the fall work begins on opening fire trails through the woodlands and getting ready for prairie burns in the fall and winter. Seeds are gathered from native plants that need to be spread to other areas of the sanctuary, or given or traded for other seeds from neighboring sanctuaries. In winter, burns are conducted and following the burns, seeds spread. There's never a dull moment at Bremer!
