Volunteers will be installing biologs.

RSVP Ken Rizzo at riz2337@yahoo.com if you plan to attend. The Workday will start 9am & end at noon followed by a brat fry.

The workday location has changed from nearby Bluff Creek to Whitewater Creek. It’s been a few years since we worked on this stream.  The Southeast Wisconsin Chapter of Trout Unlimited (SEWTU) will partner with Oakbrook, IL TU (OBTU) to install 40 biologs that morning. If time permits we will backfill the biologs with brush cut from a nearby area.

Work will begin at 9:00 am and continue until around noon followed by our traditional brat fry. Workers should bring waders, safety glasses, and work gloves. There will also be some work for volunteers without waders. Additionally bring a folding chair for the after-party brat fry.

RSVP Ken Rizzo at riz2337@yahoo.com or call 262-370-4937 if you plan to attend or have any questions.

IMPORTANT: Biologs can become un-managible when soaked. If the event is being rescheduled due to adverse weather, Ken plans to send email notification to registered participants at about 7:15 am on Saturday, Oct 18. If you are in doubt, we recommend you call Ken Rizzo to confirm the event is on before you make the drive!
