SUMMARY:GLACIAL PRAIRIE WORK PARTY
DESCRIPTION:Mukwonago River Oak Barrens Workday\nThursday, May 14 – Noon to 3:00 p.m.\nLocation: Mukwonago River Oak Barrens, Waukesha County\n\nRSVP required to receive schedule changes, exact parking locations, and details of the day’s work. RSVPs are also needed, because snowy conditions are dynamic and may limit available parking. We will be doing whatever work is most appropriate for the weather. This may include pulling or cutting and treating brush, staging and burning burn piles, cutting trees, preparing fire breaks, and spreading seeds. We strive to promote the conditions and processes that promote the recovery of these communities, which means use of frequent dormant season prescribed fire and re-introducing plant species that have been lost within our work footprint.\n\nDIFFICULTY LEVEL: Moderate to high. Terrain is level, but conditions may be snowy or wet, and footing may be uneven. Work areas may be up to a half mile walk each way through snow from parking locations. Pulling brush, cutting and treating brush, and burn pile work are moderately strenuous.\n\nWHAT TO BRING:\nBring drinking water. Please wear long sleeves; long pants; and sturdy, closed-toed shoes. Also take precautions to protect from sun, biting insects, and ticks. Bring work gloves and eye protection (glasses are fine), if you have them, but we also have extras. Feel free to bring your own tools that match the day’s activity. We can supply tools as well. If we plan on chemical treatment, appropriate training, chemical resistant gloves, and application equipment will be provided. If we burn piles, you will need outer layers made from natural fibers and a hat (we can also provide hard hats). \nWORK PARTY LEADER:\n\nRSVP and contact Dan Carter via email at dlcarterksu@gmail.com ( mailto:dlcarterksu@gmail.com ). \nDIRECTIONS:\nOff of Waukesha County Hwy LO between the intersection of County Hwy E and Rainbow Springs Nature Preserve. Map here.\nNo signs mark the entrance.
