Ice Age Trail Building near Cross Plains
Friday, March 15th, 8:00 am to 1:00 pm.
We will be cutting and burning invasive brush to prepare the way for new tread construction to follow in the warmer months. We’ll use fire, handsaws, loppers and herbicide. You’ll learn from local experts and have a hand in revealing a heretofore unseen story of continental proportions that will, with your help, soon be a new signature section of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail.
All Abilities and Talents WelcomeHands-on training provided by certified volunteer crew leaders.
In addition to signing up on the Hoofer Outing Club website, please register on the Ice Age Trail website

We will meet at the Park Street Circle(the end of Park Street) next to the Memorial Union.

What to BringBring snowshoes and ice cleats (Micro Spikes, Yak Traks, etc.) for secure footing.

Bring clothing to dress in layers for warmth and to keep dry.
A daypack, leather gloves, (the Hoofer Outing Club will supply the gloves) water bottle(s) and a thermos of warm beverage is hard to beat.Chris Jacobsen
