EMPIRE-SAUK WORK PARTY
Schurch-Thomson Prairie Tree/Brush Removal Workday
Tuesday, November 12 – 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Location: Schurch-Thomson Prairie
Come help cut and treat shrubs and young trees in prairie remnants and plantings. Removing this material is critical to improving the habitat for grassland dependent animals, such as birds and regal fritillary butterflies, and keeping the prairie vegetation healthy.
WHAT TO BRING:
Bring gloves and appropriate clothing for working outside in brushy conditions with occasional thorns. Loppers and clippers will be provided, but if you have favorite tools, please them bring along. Experienced chainsaw operators with their own equipment are welcome, but safety chaps and head, ear, and eye protection are required.
WORK PARTY LEADER:
Please contact Rich Henderson via EMAIL or phone by the night before the work party.

DIRECTIONS:
8624 Reilly Rd, Barneveld. From the intersection of US Hwy 18-151 and County F (south of Blue Mounds in western Dane County), take F approximately 5 miles south. Turn right onto Reilly Road and proceed to parking lot and kiosks at the end of the road (past the barn). (Note: A half mile down F from 18-151, pay close attention to the road signs, for F turns to the right & the straight-ahead road becomes County Z. Stay on F.)
