Land Stewardship: Spring Workday – Dane County Chapter

*** 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 will likely be doing something awesome! We might still be cutting invasive brush and trees. However, spring is also prescribed burn season. Some of our workdays will be dedicated to preparing for burning by installing/updating burn breaks. Burns are weather- and other condition-dependent and take priority when they’re possible.

If the conditions are not right for burning, other activities open to all volunteers will be scheduled and posted as we get closer to each day.  This may include prepping an area to be burned.

In late spring, the focus will shift to controlling invasive species like garlic mustard and wild parsnip with pulling and spraying.

We’ll post the details for work days as soon as we know them; to get the latest information contact the work day organizer (listed below).

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.

What an incredible season for the Ice Age Trail Alliance’s Habitat Improvement Program (HIP)! It began last December with a collaborative event at the Riverland Conservancy-owned Merrimac Preserve, which hosts a portion of the Ice Age Trail. Three months and four projects later, the season ended at the Alliance-owned Steenbock Preserve. In all, 218 volunteers donated 2,508 service hours to restoring more than 11 acres of oak woodlands, savanna, and prairie!

“It’s the volunteers’ dedication and ability to work safely that elevate our HIP events,” said Steve Pence, Land Restoration Specialist for the Alliance.

Land Stewardship: Savanna Restoration, Lodi Marsh – Dane County Chapter

Photo Credit: Brent Sieling

Description

With winter finally here, we remove sumac and other shrubs from our prairies and savannas, while cutting trees. We need people to help by using loppers and other hand tools, and run power brush cutters. Additionally we will need NPS -certified chain sawyers. No prior experience is required to do this work, but we need to know who can help so that we have enough equipment to use. Come for part of the day or the whole thing. If there is snow on the ground, we will likely be burning brush and logs to clear the land and provide warmth.

What to Bring

Bring whatever water and food you want for the day. Sunscreen is optional but advised.
