… and see 20 professionally operated chainsaws in action.

On September 19 at 8 AM the Aldo Leopold Chapter will host a work day at the 40 acres on Dell Creek that the Leopold Chapter, SWTU, the Badger Fly Fishers, the State Council Access Fund and Groundswell Conservancy helped purchase. The property is lovely with a long stretch of the stream, a brook trout tributary, and some extremely healthy oak uplands. It’s also almost impossible to fish because of the streamside tag alders.

That’s about to change big time. The Leopold Chapter has won the services of the 20 person Stihl Chainsaw Crew for a half day of work. 20 professionally trained sawyers with the latest and best of Stihl chainsaws — that will be a most impressive and instructive sight. To utilize such an amazing workforce, the Leopold Chapter needs folks to haul the brush. They asking nearby chapters for help.

Dell Creek is about an hour drive from Madison and 9/19 falls on a Thursday and 8 AM is an early start time. But, if you can find the time to help, please do so. The Leopold Chapter will provide a nice lunch, you’ll meet some really nice and committed fellow TU members, and you’ll see a beautiful stream and landscape that we helped preserve.

If you can help: Here is a map to the site, and please email dtendres9@gmail.com so they have a rough headcount.
