Mark your calendars! Conservation Chair Jim Hess has once again worked with public officials and partner organizations to plan out a series of stream workdays.
September 28 – Hefty Creek (Green County)
Clearing woody invasives and installing a brush bundle. Vince Schmitz will be leading this project.
A special plea from Topf Wells for this first workday
Please, please, please attend our September 28 workday on Hefty Creek. We have a wonderful problem with our work days. We get so much done we’re in demand. We need to finish all the brush cutting and in stream bundling in one work day (the 28th) so we can honor Dane County’s request for an October project. We’re getting help from the DNR. Mitch Trow, our acting fish biologist, who will mow work paths for us and Vince Schmitz, another great DNR biologist and the brush bundle pro, will join us on Saturday. If we have enough folks that we can start bundling as soon as we start cutting brush, we’ll do this. So, please help. BTW, this marks our third and probably final year of working on this restoration. Our work has completed the project in areas the DNR could not reach with heavy equipment.
October 12 – Falk Wells Sugar River Wildlife Area or Davidson Wildlife Unit (Dane County)
Clearing box elders and invasive woodies. Meeting with County officials on Sept 4 to evaluate. We could also end up on Kittleson.
October 19 – Big Spring (Iowa County 5465 Big Spring Road, Highland)
Joint workday with the Nohr Chapter – clearing willows and box elders further upstream from our previous workdays.
Nov 9 (Bye week for UW Football) – Sawmill Creek (Green County)– Pokorny Easement
Clearing box elders and invasive woodies and possibly installing a brush bundle if it is possible to drive arrow points into the gravel stream bottom.
December 7 – Conley Lewis (Iowa County, Banner Road)
Joint Workday with the Nohr Chapter clearing boxelders.
