October 8, 2022 – Smith-Conley Creek, 2800 Cty Rd H, Barneveld
If you’ve never joined one before, please know the work is easy, you can work at your own pace and there is something to do for everyone. From hauling large trees to handing around clipboards, if you have the willingness to help then we have a way for you to do so. Along the way, you’ll meet some new people and most likely note a few intriguing places to drift a fly. See you there!
Time: 9am to 12 noon (Chapter Approved Sawyers please arrive at 8:30).
Where: Smith Conley Creek at 2800 Cty Rd H, Barneveld. Take Hwy 151 out of Madison toward Barneveld, on the east side of Barneveld turn left (south) on Cty Rd K, go approximately 6 miles to Cty Rd H, turn right (west) on Cty Rd H, and then go 1 mile to 2800 Cty Rd H.

There is a quarter-mile walk to the work. The DNR is bringing a UTV that can carry equipment to the site, they will also be bringing a skid steer.
Parking: Park along Cty Rd H on the north (right) side of the road. Do not pull into the drive as there is no room for parking.
What: This will be a joint workday with the Harry and Laura Nohr Chapter (Ted Swenson, Nohr Conservation Chair) We will be felling large box elders and other invasive woodies to open up the area for oak regeneration. We will also be removing trees from the stream that are causing problems. The DNR is bringing a machine to help remove these trees and create burn piles. This is a fairly new DNR easement that connects to fishing easements upstream. Justine Haglund, DNR Fish Biologist, Vince Schmitz, and other DNR staff will be joining us.
Bring: Waders to work in the stream, rubber/Muck type boots, work gloves, sturdy shoes, and eye and ear protection. Also bring reusable water bottles that can be filled from our 5-gal water jug. Stay hydrated.
