Southern Wisconsin Trout Unlimited Work Day

press release:

  Our last workday of the year will be Saturday, May 9 on Black Earth Creek along the Wolf Run Trail.  Same location as our last workday.

  When: Saturday, May 9, 2015 from 9 a.m. to Noon (Chapter Approved Sawyers please arrive at 8:30).  

What:  Removing box elders, willows, and other 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.

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 onto the bike trail.
