Ice Age Trail workday Saturday, 16 January

From Connie Lane
--------------------------

If anyone wants to work on the Ice Age Trail tomorrow, please e-mail me if you need a ride or just want to carpool.

Saturday's work continues the restoration of an oak savanna on the site where the Ice Age Trail Center willsomeday be built. We will removethe evil buckthorn and other non-native plants, and a large bonfire will be burning - something most Hoofers enjoy. We will cook lunch on the bonfire around noon.

Dress to get dirty and do NOT wear your good outdoor clothes. This is a real bonfire and your good outdoor clothes are flammable or like to melt. Wear old wool or cotton clothing that you don't mind getting dirty. Bring work gloves if you have them, water (lots - I'd bring 2 liters as working near the fire is hot) and snacks.

We'll be at the Cross Plains site from 9 to about 2 or 3, then return to Madison. Please contact me be 10 pm Friday night if you want to go.

Connie
