Land Management
The management objective is to maintain the native plants this oak savanna/prairie remnant. Prescribed burning has been conducted regularly for the past couple of decades.  This site has been an important local seed source for prairie dock, culvers root, white wild indigo, New jersey tea, and other plant species for prairie plantings elsewhere in Muskego.  The site is currently being managed for invasive daylilies as well as lily of the valley.
