press release:
Join our Stream Team for fun, friendship and making a difference! Our second workday of the fall season will be Saturday, October 22 on the West Branch of the Sugar River at Cty. Rd. G.
October 22 from 9 a.m. to Noon (Chapter Approved Sawyers please arrive at 8:30).
Cutting and treating willows to benefit trout stream habitat and provide access to the stream. Also friendly camaraderie, refreshments, coffee, and a chance to give back to the resource!
Where: Driving west out of Mount Vernon on Cty Rd G, the work site location on the West Branch of the Sugar River is 1.8 miles. We will be parking in a grassy area just off the road on the east side. Here is a map to this location
.
Bring work gloves, sturdy shoes, and loppers and hand saws; 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: We will park in the grassy area just off the road on the east side. If you have questions or think you can help, please contact Jim Hess at jim.hess@tds.net so we can get a volunteer count estimate. We look forward to seeing you there!

Dec 3 - Sugar River, Neperud Property - remove woody invasives from oak hill, plant native seeds along the river in the disturbed areas from the stream bank improvements, and inspect and clean up around planted trees and shrubs.
