Build Wader Washing Stations to Stem Spread of Invasives

River Alliance is co-hosting an Earth Day event along with Upper Sugar River Watershed Association and Southern Wisconsin Trout Unlimited. We need 30 volunteers – that means you! – to help contain the New Zealand mudsnail to the Upper Sugar River, in order to protect other trout streams in Wisconsin from encroachment of this messy invasive.  A big thank you to Great Lakes Brewing Company for their sponsorship of this event.
We’ll meet at 8:30 a.m. at The Bruce Company property at 1548 Highway 69 in Verona, WI. Volunteers will get “earthy” building informational kiosks and stations for anglers to clean their waders. Great Lakes Brewery hosts a volunteer appreciation party immediately after the workday at The Rigby in Madison.
This is a great way to get actively engaged in the invasive species battle, learn about invasive species, and have some fun – not to mention good beer.
We are in need of some tools for this event. Please bring the following if you have them: table saw, circular saw, drills, square and Phillips head bits, squares, tape measures and saw horses.
Please contact Amanda Perdzock with questions at  aperdzock@wisconsinrivers.org.
