GLACIAL PRAIRIE: HOLIDAY TREE CUTTING AT MUKWONAGO RIVER OAK BARRENS
Holiday Tree Cutting at Mukwonago River Oak Barrens
Thursday, December 3 – 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Location: Mukwonago River Oak Barrens in Waukesha County, WI
Folks that have volunteered in any capacity at the Mukwonago River Oak Barrens (burns, work parties, biological surveys, collecting seeds at the UWM Field Station to be broadcast at MROB) are free to take the top of a fir (mostly white/concolor fir) for the Holiday season. There is a finite number of nice trees (tree tops), so RSVP is required. There is an endless supply of motley evergreen tops and evergreen boughs. Dan Carter will be available to cut trees. Folks may cut their own, but they have to do so in accordance with TPE Chainsaw Policy (e.g., bring and wear full personal protective equipment).
