Ice Age Trail Supporters!
Dispense with data management and deadlines. The 2017 triple-header season opener is happening at three locations across the State!
All great ideas need a canvas upon which to rest. Inspired trail experiences owe their origin to clearing and cutting brush to rough in a “corridor of opportunity”. And, it’s fun! Corridor clearing is a great way to see positive results in a hurry and a wide-range of ages and skills can get a thrill wielding a handsaw or clippers.
What We’re Doing:
We’re starting the season early to get ahead of seasonal restrictions on cutting or pruning oak trees, and to avoid disturbance to bird nesting seasons. The triple-header events will help chapters in Marathon, Chippewa, and Manitowoc counties manage their respective trail maintenance needs. Each is preparing their trails for blockbuster tread construction events to follow later in the season.
Tools will be provided, but Certified Sawyers are encouraged to bring their own gear.
Mobile Skills Crew Triple-Header Details:
Corridor clearing events are scheduled in 3 different locations for the weekend of Friday, April 7th and Saturday, April 8th. Select a project area nearest you, or head to a part of the State you’ve never visited before, your choice.
