Volunteers will be installing biologs. Biologs are installed to stabilize banks and channelize stream flow to maintain deeper, colder runs that improve trout habitat.
RSVP Ken Rizzo at riz2337@yahoo.com if you plan to attend so he can purchase the right amount of food. The Workday will start 9am & end at noon followed by a brat fry.
The Southeast Wisconsin Chapter of Trout Unlimited (SEWTU) will partner with Oakbrook, IL TU (OBTU) to continue installing biologs in the stream. If time permits we will backfill the biologs with brush cut from a nearby area. This is a continuation of the work OBTU assisted with on Oct 18, 2025.
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!

To the uninitiated, its a great opportunity to learn about coldwater aquatic insects and other invertebrates that contribute to the trout food chain.
