Firebreak construction - Wandering Rock SNA, Buffalo Co.
Let's build fire breaks!
Let's work together to pull brush and reduce the fuel load so that when it is time to burn, the property will be all ready to go. You will LOVE the grand views from the blufftops, and learn all about the conservation measures being put into place to help enhance wildlife habitat as you work.
Bring a friend and check out all the delicious ice cream options in Nelson after a day of rewarding work.
All ages and skill levels are welcome – dress appropriately for the weather, bring a water bottle and sturdy footwear and clothing to protect from brush. Events may involve full body movement on uneven ground and steep slopes. Expert instruction, protective gear, tools, and snacks will be provided. Together, we can make a big difference in a short amount of time!
