Southern Wisconsin Trout Unlimited Work Day

press release: Saturday, April 9, 2016 Workday: Join us for a fun and friendly way to make a difference

Our next workday of the year will be 9 am-noon Saturday, April 9, on Black Earth Creek along the Wolf Run Trail.

What: Cutting and treating willows, box elders, and invasive brush to benefit trout stream habitat and provide access to the stream.  Also friendly camaraderie, donuts, coffee, and a chance to give back to the resource!  

Where:  Driving west from Madison on Highway 14, you will pass Wisconsin Heights High School and Rookies.  Turn left (south) on Wolf Road.  Wolf Road is on the south side of the intersection of HWY 14 and HWY 78 North.  Here is a map.

Bring: Rubber boots or waders if you have them as we will be working on both sides of the creek.  Also bring work gloves, loppers and hand saws; otherwise the chapter has equipment you can use.  

Parking: Drive down Wolf Road and slowly past Fred Wolf’s garage and home.  Park at the bottom of the hill in the field near the wood piles.  Do not drive on the bike trail.  

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!
