November 4 | 9:00 am – 12:00 pm
We will be doing a special Stew Crew on Tuesday, November 4th! If you’ve driven Highway 144 by Big Cedar Lake, you may have noticed some construction happening on the Weninger field, directly south of CLCF’s Rudorf Farm on Division Rd. CLCF has been working with Washington County to put in three berms to slow water runoff into the lake just across the road. These berms will slow the water and release it at a controlled rate, allowing more time for it to infiltrate into the ground, therefore reducing sediment load into the lake.
The berms are already complete, so now we just need to put on the finishing touches. We will be spreading a native seed mix and then covering the berm with coconut fiber erosion matting and staking it down. Be advised this event will include a lot of bending down to put the stakes in the ground. Any help is appreciated, even if you can’t stay the whole time.
This workday will be TUESDAY, November 4th from 9-noon. Please meet in the Rudorf parking lot at 5036 Division Road, West Bend, WI 53095.
This is a great chance to be part of a project that will have noticeable impact on the water runoff into Big Cedar Lake. See some more info and photos here on our website. Even if you can’t make this event, I encourage you to drive by and take a look once it’s all done.
