Please join us in improving the Vermillion River & its tributaries! We need 14 volunteers to help improve stream habitat for trout.  

What Will We Be Doing

This will be Day 1 of a unique 2 Day effort. You can also, if so desired, sign up for Day 2 (a separate sign-up for Saturday 24 Aug)

Under the direction of our friend, the MN DNR's Mark Nemeth, we will be harvesting & hauling cedar trees to a trailer, then delivering to the South Branch Vermillion AMA. The trees will be used to protect the banks of several areas on the river. We will also be doing some reseeding where we cut the trees.

The Plan

Meet at the start time at the parking lot of the AMA (see map). We will carpool to the Vermillion Highlands area to cut trees, re-seed, and haul the trees back to the AMA.

What You Should Bring

  • Long pants
  • Long sleeve shirt
  • Sunblock
  • Heavy work gloves
  • Water!

What TCTU & the DNR Will Provide

  • All equipment
  • Bug spray
  • LUNCH after we're all done working!
Looking forward to seeing you there! And thanks for your time and energy to make things better!
 
Registration will end 24 hours before the event so that we can get an accurate headcount.
