Land Stewardship: Boardwalk Site Prep, Lodi Marsh – Dane County Chapter
February 9, 2022 @ 9:00 am - 3:30 pm
*** You MUST contact the posted workday leader listed below to make sure the workday location or details have not changed, as these events are posted in advance. ***
Description
We are continuing our mid-week workdays through February to keep reducing our inventory of slash piles and advance our ecological restoration work. We have cleared a basic corridor through a large thicket of honeysuckle for the boardwalk relocation to be built this spring in the Lodi Marsh State Natural Area. Help us remove and burn more honeysuckle and trees to reveal the marsh and Center Bluff from the new trail. No prior experience is required to do this work, but you must let me know you will help so that we have enough tools to use. We will need qualified sawyers with chainsaws and PPE for the workdays. We will also need help with cutting the smaller shrubs with loppers, herbiciding the cut stumps, and burning the slash piles that we made earlier this winter.
What to Bring
You should have long pants, a long-sleeve shirt, gloves, sturdy boots, and whatever water and food you want for the day. Sunscreen is optional but advised.
RSVP
You must RSVP with the work day organizer (listed below) so we have enough equipment and we can make sure all volunteers for the day have up-to-date information about meeting location.
