Hey All,
Another tract of native prairie, which eventually will contain a section of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail, will be planted this Saturday morning south of Cross Plains. If you want to contribute to the trail, this is by far one of the easiest tasks volunteers can do. You walk around in a tract of land that has been plotted into a grid, and fling seeds other volunteers (school kids, retired people, regular trail volunteers) collected over the past year throughout Wisconsin. In two years, a beautiful prairie will flower, and once the plants are firmly established, trail will be built.
If anyone wants to plant prairie this weekend, please e-mail me (Connieenal@yahoo.com) and I will coordinate rides. Plan to meet at 8:30 am at the UW Credit Union on University Avenue. We'll carpool to Cross Plains and plant seeds for about 3 hours. It will be colder than last month (when it was 70 degrees!), but we'll bring hot drinks and the IAT leader is bringing drinking food and drinks. Dress warm and wear good shoes/boots, and you will be fine.
This event was inadvertently left off the Ice Age Trail calendar, but it is happening.
Connie
