I hope everyone is enjoying your summer. It is certainty zipping right along, almost August already, and time to start planning our 2023 Fall Workdates. Below are the dates for our fall workdays to place on your calendars. 

Still working on the sites for our workdays and will be completing that in the coming weeks. There are many good options, including a new Dane County Easement on BEC, but this easement has not been finalized yet. Hopefully It will be, so we can have a workday there.

I worked around Thanksgiving weekend, the 10-day deer gun season, and try to work around Badger home football games. Unfortunately, Wisconsin has a lot of home games this year, which good for the fans, but makes scheduling workdays more difficult. So to avoid going a month without a workday, I have scheduled October 7 as a workday, which is a home game against Rutgers.

All are Saturdays from 9 to about Noon.

• September 23
• October 7
• October 21
• November 4
• December 2

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.
