City Park Battle of the Buckthorn

Battle of the Buckthorn Volunteer Event at City Park on October 26th from 1-4. We need your help bringing the buckthorn under control on the City and School forest lands. 

  • We’ll have the Red Cedar “weed trailer” on site with tools and DNR Forestry is providing gloves and shovels.
  • The City of Spooner is providing the warming house for bathrooms and drinking water.
  • The City has also provided herbicide, which willing adults can use on the City owned property (South of the water tower hill will be herbicide areas, north of that will be tools and hand pulling.)

We need your Support!

The grooming snowmobile used by the volunteers to groom the trails at City Park has broken-down and is beyond repair. We need your support to purchase a new grooming sled and keep the park trails groomed and accessible. The total cost for a new groomer is $14,300. The trails are host to over 100 youth skiers, draw countless visitors to our community and is a resource for us, the local residents, every day! All the grooming and trail maintenance is done by volunteers. Please consider donating today to keep our trails groomed for all to enjoy!
