DescriptionOn Satuday, Septemeber 19, 2009, from 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 noon, SEWTU will once again join forces with the Blackhawk and Gary Borger Chapters of TU to complete our work at Van Slyke Creek. As most know, Van Slyke Creek is a coldwater stream located in Fonatana, Wisconsin, which runs in to Geneva Lake. This stream is within SEWTU's Chapter area, and one of our rare coldwater gems. Last summer, we aided the Village of Fontana, and leader Wes Milner and Jill Wegner in restoring a huge stretch of river -- removing impoundment, obstructions, downed timber, encroaching vegetation -- which ultimately led to the replacement of a culvert that had been an absolute barrier to fish passage. This year, we'll complete our work, and work downstream, through the Abbey Resort, which has generously agreed to partner with us on this project. Workers should bring adequate eye protection, hats, protective clothing to guard against scratches, etc., and hand tools sufficient to cut and remove encroaching vegetation. Waders are encouraged. We'll park in the gradeschool parking lot, off of Spring Street, and shuttle to the worksite (at the Abbey Resort, across Highway 67). We'll start at 9:00 a.m. and work for one-half day, as always, and finish with a free lunch. This is a wonderful chance to help the resource, partner with some incredible chapters, and continue the work that we started last summer. Let's keep it going! Volunteers are asked to RSVP to Henry Koltz at hek@sdelaw.com, or by calling 414-258-4300.
