Don’t miss the opportunity to make a difference
We’ve worked around gun deer season and home Badger football games to assemble a great slate of workdays for this fall! Please mark your calendar and plan to join us on as many of these Saturdays as you can.

• October 19 @ new DNR easement on Kittleson Creek near River Fork Road in Iowa County
• November 2
• November 16
• December 7

Workdays generally start at 9 and are done by noon. We’ll share more details as we get closer to them. The work is fun and not complicated … anybody can join and lend a helpful hand.

Grant to plant oak trees
Also … we’ve been awarded a $950 grant from the Foundation for Dane County Parks to plant oaks trees along trout streams in Dane County. Their shade will help protect our cold water resource. The grant includes the cost of t-posts and fencing to protect the 4 year old oaks. We will be featured along with the other recipients at the banquet to celebrate Bill Lunney’s 50 years of conservation leadership and his retirement from the Parks Commission on September 18 at the Lussier Center. There will be a special work day(s) this fall for the plantings, so watch for details!
