Waterville Segment, Waukesha County

February 11, 2022 @ 9:00 am - February 12, 2022 @ 3:00 pm

What We’re Doing
Invasive trees and brush need to be  eradicated. To promote a healthy native ecosystem, we will continue to cut, treat, and burn invasive brush species.

Join us each day, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Friday and Saturday.

We need swampers (volunteers who haul brush for the fire) and brush-cutters. Certified sawyers are welcome and encouraged to bring their chainsaw and PPE.

Registration
To help us plan this event with your needs in mind, please register before or by noon on Thursday, February 10, 2022. Limit: 50 volunteers – so don’t wait to register!

 

 

 

All Talents and Abilities Welcome!
