Firebreak Construction - La Crosse Blufflands, Kaplan Tract - La Crosse County
Let's build fire breaks!
Ready for the spring fire season? Come along to help prepare this site for some healthy, healing fire. The Kaplan tract, near the Mathy Quarry site is a bluffside nature preserve that has an excellent view of the city of La Crosse. Bundle up and bring along a friend as we get down to business clearing brush, sticks, logs, and leaves away from the firebreak!
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 sometimes 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!
