Fall 2006 Workdays for Waukesha Land Conservancy

Your participation is greatly needed as we have tons of work to do this fall. The workdays for fall 2006 are listed below.  Jason Dare, our Land Manager says to bring gloves and to plan on working about 3 to 4 hours each session, but come anyway, even if you cannot stay for the full session. Workdays are a great chance to see the preserves you have helped to protect and learn about what the Waukesha County Land Conservancy is doing to manage them. Tours can be given by request

If you know how to find the worksite, go there directly. If not, go to the meeting place listed below and someone will lead you to the site.  Call Marlin Johnson at 262-965-2227 if you have questions.

There are also some things you can do on your own schedule.  First we are in need of acorns from red, white and bur oaks along with shagbark hickory nuts this fall.  Second we are in desperate need of metal rods or poles used to fasten tree protectors.  Roughly 3 1/2' or longer work well, but we can use the smaller ones also.
