Ice Age Trail Building this Saturday October 3
What: The Ice Age Trail Alliance is back at it, building new Ice Age Trail close to the UW-Madison campus! This weekend we will be moving rocks and dirt to create a section on one of America's eight National Scenic Trails.Trail building is legendary for the good people, good times, and the satisfaction of constructing trail that will be used for generations to come. No experience required! Hot apple cider may or may not make an appearance at the work site.....
When: Saturday, October 3. Meet at Park Street Circle at 8:15am. Work from 9am-3pm. Return to campus around 4pm at the latest.
Where: Andersen Preserve, Cross Plains, WI (about a 25 minute drive from campus). We will be working in the same spot that Hoofers worked in this summer. There is still about 1500 ft. of trail there remaining to be constructed, and some of it is on tough terrain, back in a deep valley.
What to bring: Work boots/shoes, layers of clothes you don't mind getting dirty, water, lunch, and a few dollars for gas.
Description: I will be leading a trip to Cross Plains to help construct one of our nation's National Scenic Trails, right here in the Madison area! The Ice Age Trail, a proposed 1,200 mile footpath that is located completely in Wisconsin, is being completed in sections solely by the work of volunteers like us. If you don't know about the Ice Age Trail, check out http://www.iceagetrail.org/. Trail-building is a whole ton of fun.
If you are interested in volunteering on Saturday (doooooo it!), send an email to Mary Collins at outingpresident@gmail.com.
