NOTE: When I receive a new project announcement e-mail it will be posted here, until then the previous projects announcement will stay posted to give visitors a little bit of a flavor as to what one can expect as a volunteer.

October 11-14 - New Trail, Bohn Lake SIATA, Waushara County  – Project Announcement

The Ice Age Park & Trail Foundation’s Mobile Skills Crew and Waushara County Chapter will construct a new segment of the Ice Age Trail on the Bohn Lake State Ice Age Trail Area October 11th through 14th…and YOU are invited. Mid-October in Waushara County is likely to provide one of those classic Autumn-in-Wisconsin backdrops. Falling leaves, cool nights and good times are guaranteed.  

As usual, our main goals are to be safe and have fun. Provided those goals are met, we will construct over a mile of new Ice Age Trail. The canvas of this beautiful new segment is an oak forest and undeveloped lake laid over part of a 14-mile-long tunnel channel - effects of the last glaciation.  

Food and camping are provided right on site. Work starts at 8am each day and lunch will be in the field. Showers may be tough to come by, but the lake is always open. Bring sturdy boots, water bottles, leather work gloves, daypack, long-sleeve shirt and pants, insect repellant, hat, raingear, towel, tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, and personal needs. 

So we can better prepare for your attendance, please register online at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=guvIJ8bBkMk9knnTKxbQNQ_3d_3d. If you have any questions about the project, please contact Eric Sherman, IAPTF Communications Specialist (800-227-0046, eric@iceagetrail.org).
