Project Time:  Sunday Oct. 8 9:00 am – 1:00 pm (feel free to leave early if needed, but best if you can arrive for 9:00 start so that you can get tools and find us out in the woods)

Volunteer Meeting Location: Near 4166 North Birch Trail, Cross Plains 53528. Meet in cul-de-sac at south end of North Birch Trail (0.4 mile south of intersection with Old Sauk Pass Rd.).  There is no parking lot – park along side of this very quiet road.  From Hwy 14 turn onto Stagecoach Rd., then immediately go south on N. Birch Trail for 1.2 miles. 

Minimum age of Volunteers: 12+ with adult supervision  

Instructions and notes: Wear work clothes and tough shoes, bring your own leather work gloves (or we will have some to lend).  Dress in layers; good to also bring water bottle and a snack (we will have extra water).  Feel free to bring or share a small daypack, sunscreen, hat.  We will supply all needed hand tools; larger bushes and downed trees will be cut by certified chain sawyers.  No rain in the forecast but if there is threat of rain we will still work.
