Invasive species management is a top priority. One method DCP uses to control invasive species such as Wild Parsnip is mowing. Properly timed mowing helps prevent these invasives from going to seed and keeps their populations more manageable. Perennial prairie plants will grow back after being mowed and removing the invasive species creates a better environment for them to grow.
Sadly, Best Dog Park was not a category in Madison Magazine's Best of Madison 2021 or 2022 surveys.
