Stewardship Project
In 2005 and 2008, Friends of Havenwoods received
grants from the
Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program.
During the first grant period, from July 2005 through June 2007, FOH members removed buckthorn and other
invasive plants, restored the old grassy trail, and
developed a new section to complete a trail loop.
The current
Stewardship Project involves continued removal of
invasive species and planting of natives grasses,
trees, and shrubs.

Havenwoods has changed dramatically since the
mid-1970s. Nature already has an amazing ability to
heal the land. When you add dedicated people, a few
native trees, and some prairie seeds, the results
are nothing less than remarkable.
