Fence and Weed Pull
8:00 AM Sawmill Gulch Elk Habitat
Description:
Saturday June 28 - Service Outing with the Montana Chapter of the Sierra Club.
Fence and Weed Pull in Sawmill Gulch Elk Habitat.
Help remove barbed wire and Hounds Tounge from elk winter range in the
Rattlesnake National Recreation Area. Meet-up at the main Rattlesnake
Trailhead north of Missoula at 8am and we'll be done by noon, giving
volunteers a chance to recreate or head home for chores. We'll remove
the last vestiges of barbed wire from a steep, brushy roadside area,
making it easier for the North Hills elk herd and whitetails to roam
and avoid entanglement. Then we'll take an interpretive-sightseeing 1/2
mile hike to another work-site. Time permitting, we'll "top" some of
the the invasive Hounds Tounge weeds. Long sleeve shirt, long pants,
sturdy footgear, work gloves, and glasses of some sort will be
required. Bring your own gloves, glasses, tool belt, linemans pliers
and small bolt cutters if you can; but we will have supplies on hand
for those who do not have such items. Not recommended for anyone with
bad knees or bad back. Contact, Bert Lindler 542-7645 or blindler (at) montana.com
Free and open to the public.
No companion animals please.
