Our next workday will be Saturday, April 8, on the Sugar River at the Basco Unit County Wildlife Area (Neperud property), south of Paoli on Hwy 69 – the fire address is 1065.
When: April 8, 2017 from 9 a.m. to Noon (Chapter Approved Sawyers please arrive at 8:30).
What: Cutting & treating box elders, and leaving the trunks intact to be used by the DNR to do streambank improvements to this area. Also, friendly camaraderie, refreshments, coffee, and a chance to give back to the resource!
Where: South of Paoli at 1065 Hwy 69. The fire number may or may not be up. Drive south from Madison on Hwy 69, after you pass Paoli you will come to the Hamlet of Basco at Henry Road, the farm is on the west side of Hwy 69. Here is a map
Bring: Hip boots or chest waders (some of us will be getting into the water). Also, bring work gloves, sturdy shoes, and loppers; otherwise the chapter has equipment you can use. Also, bring reusable water bottles that can be re-filled from our 5-gal water jug. As a conservation club, we need to reduce our use of plastic bottles and throw-away cups. Reusable coffee mugs will also be available.
Parking: Park in the circle drive by the barn.
Future Workdays:
April 22 – Black Earth Creek – clear woody invasives along the stream and assist the Black Earth Watershed Assn with their cleanup day.
May 6 – Gordon Creek DNR Easement at Blanchardville, same location as the March 25 workday
July 15 – Basco Unit County Wildlife Area (Neperud property) on the Sugar River.
If you have questions or think you can help, please contact Jim Hess at jimhess5599@gmail.com so we can get a volunteer count estimate. We look forward to seeing you there!
Remember, every workday you attend earns you an entry into the drawing for the Stream Keeper fly rod, custom-built by Jim Bartelt.
