Empire-Sauk Chapter

Help is needed this Winter 2010 with:
       tree and brush removal and brush pile burning
             

Be sure to wear appropriate clothing for the weather (dress in layers).  Do not wear synthetic fabrics near burn piles.  Sturdy footwear and work gloves are required.  Bring drinking water.  Chainsaw operators with their own equipment are welcome, but must have safety chaps and headgear.  Bring pruners or loppers, if you have them.
