EMPIRE-SAUK WORK PARTY
Mounds View Grassland: Remove Trees and Brush/Burn Brush Piles at Hanley Farm Addition
Saturday, February 21 – 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Location: Mounds View Grassland in Barneveld, WI
This work party is very dependent on weather conditions so be sure to notify work party leader before heading out.
At the Hanley Farm, come help clear brush and small trees in one of the small oak savannas we are restoring at the Hanley Farm addition. We will be burning brush piles and cutting and treating trees and brush.
WHAT TO BRING:
Bring gloves and appropriate clothing for working outside in brushy conditions with occasional thorns and around fire (natural fiber and old enough you will not mind getting an occasional small burn hole from embers). We recommend eye and hearing protection (chainsaws will be in use). Some helmets with face shields and ear covers will be available. Loppers and clippers will be provided, but if you have favorite tools, please bring them along. Experienced chainsaw operators with their own equipment are welcome, but safety chaps and head, ear, and eye protection are required.
WORK PARTY LEADER:
For questions and to RSVP, contact Rich Henderson (h) 608-845-7065. Please let Rich know if you are planning on coming by the evening before the event to confirm.
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, 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.)
