Grab a tool and hike along as we clear brush, branches, and do other trail maintenance projects. We meet at the Chippewa Moraine Visitor Center at 9:30 AM. Bring a lunch if you can stay into the afternoon, but stay as long as you care to. We do ask that you confirm your planned attendance, so we can plan a project that the participants can handle and so that we can have the necessary tools on hand. Email chapter@iatchippewa.org or call 715 967-2164 if you plan to attend, and let us know how long you can stay. Chippewa Moraine Visitor Center, New Auburn WI

The host facility will be the Janesville Rotary Botanical Gardens. They have a wonderful conference facility and beautiful grounds that will serve as a great host site for the four days we will be in Janesville.
