Iowa County – Northeast of Dodgeville on CTH Z
Time: 9am to 12 noon (Chapter Approved Sawyers please arrive at 8:30).
What: This is a joint workday with the Nohr Chapter. We will be assisting Justin Haglund, DNR Fish Biologist, and his crew with planting 65 trees. The holes for the trees will be pre-dug. We will also be placing matting and cages around each tree. A prescribed burn was conducted on this site this spring, so conditions should be good for accessing the site. This is a very new DNR easement and well worth checking out.
Please bring a shovel (will still need to fill in the holes and perhaps dig some new ones). We have buckets for watering the trees.
Where: Lowery Creek in Iowa County, located approximately 10 miles northeast of Dodgeville on CTH Z at the intersection of CTH Z and CTH T. See the map below.

Bring: Bring a shovel, work gloves, sturdy shoes, eye and ear protection. Also bring reusable water bottles that can be re-filled from our 5-gal water jug.
Parking: Park in the parking lot located just north of where we will be planting. See below for a map of the site and details of the upcoming workdays.
Thanks,
