Lower Mud Lake Natural Resource Area -- Oak Woodland Restoration Workday

Sawyers and haulers (brush stackers) are needed to help remove invasive trees in a beautiful oak woodland within Lower Mud Lake's Natural Resource Area. In the spring this area is filled with spring ephemerals and we'd like to be able to encourage the growth of desirable native species! Eventually this area will be included in Dane County Parks prescribed burn plans. Tools such as loppers and PPE will be provided.

• Haulers do not need prior experience.
• Sawyers will have to bring their own chainsaw and PPE (chaps, helmet, boots, gloves, etc.) and must be certified to use a chainsaw on Dane County Park properties. This means having a signed chainsaw waiver and copy of your safety certifications on file with DCP. Please contact Claire Lamberg, Land & Water Volunteer Coordinator at lamberg.claire@danecounty.gov/ (608) 516-3703 if you are unsure about your certification status.
