Would you like to help build trail on the North County Trail in Wisconsin.?
We have a work weekend on :
Saturday, July 18, 2015 8:00 AM
to Sunday, July 19, 2015, 2:00 PM
Copper Falls State Park
36764 Copper Falls Road, Mellen, WI (map)
July Event Focus: This Event will focus on two main areas: 1) Mowing, lopping, blazing and trail maintenance throughout the Heritage Chapter and 2) trail building within Copper Falls State Park.
Where To Stay: We have free camping available for Friday and Saturday nights at overflow site #2 in Copper Falls State Park (Hwy 169, just north of Mellen). Remember you will need a sticker pass on your vehicle if camping with us overnight.
Some volunteers also like to stay at the Indianhead Motel in Ironwood indianheadmotel.com/rooms.html ( Morgan & Linda are NCTA members).
Where And When To Meet: Arrive at Copper Falls State Park entrance (off Hwy 169) before 8am (say 7:15 or 7:30am for breakfast). Look for the yellow North Country Trail signs beginning at the entrance and follow them to the breakfast meeting spot.
What To Bring: Please be sure to bring your own water and bug repellent. Chef Paulson provides a bag lunch for the field.
Chapter Sponsored Meals: Chef Margaret Paulson will be cooking for the crew at this event. So arrive early on Saturday for breakfast (between 7:15 and 8am), then pick up a bag lunch before you head out to the field. After work she will have dinner ready (around 5:30pm). On Sunday breakfast will be provided again. So bring your appetite.
