*** 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
Having completed our efforts to control and reduce garlic mustard, we now turn to removing re-sprouting brush and other weeds that are invading our oak woodlands. Our preferred method to control these invasives is by herbiciding the plants that have not been killed by our spring burns. We do this work using backpack sprayers to apply a herbicide. On each of the weekends and some weekdays of early June we will scan our various preserves searching for the plants we want to eliminate. No prior experience is required to do this work.
What to Bring
You should have long pants, a long-sleeve shirt, gloves, sturdy boots, and whatever water and food you want for the day. Sunscreen and insect repellent are optional but advised.
RSVP
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.
Volunteer Service Agreement
If you’re joining us for the first time at an event, please complete the fillable Volunteer Services Agreement Form and email it (along with any questions) to National Park Service, (iatr_vip_ice_age_trail@nps.gov). You should also complete the form if you don’t have a Volunteer Services Agreement Form on file, or completed one prior to January 2022.
Additional information for first-time volunteers.

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 sent directly to you via email, contact Megan Schliesman (schliesfrau@gmail.com) and ask to be added to our Stewardship email group.

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 sent directly to you via email, contact Megan Schliesman (schliesfrau@gmail.com) and ask to be added to our Stewardship email group. (Note: Megan cannot answer questions about workdays; she coordinates the list, not workdays.)

We will likely be doing something awesome! We might still be cutting invasive brush and trees. However, spring is also prescribed burn season.

Reddan Woods Reroute
We will be constructing tread (walking surface) for a 516′ reroute. This bypasses a heavily eroded section of trail that follows the fall line down a hillside, and will follow a more sustainable winding route.
More details will be provided via the Dane County trailbuilders-dciat mailing list in late April. To be added to this list, contact Megan Schliesman (schliesfrau@gmail.com) and ask to be added to our Trailbuilders list.

Emails sent on the listserv will contain all the details for a workday, and you should contact the listed leader for any given workday with questions.
Your help is welcomed for any part of the project. No experience is necessary – certified crew leaders will guide you to get started!
