Task to be accomplised:

 

Hitching Rails:  The Lee County Charitable Fund (LCCF) has awarded FOS a grant for 2016 for a joint FOS and DNR project. The funds have been received and accomplishing the first major objective is on the schedule for our September 13^th Work Day---refurbish the 37 horse tie rail pads by placing up to 6 inches of lime chips(smoothed and packed) in an area about 20 feet x 24 feet around each 10 foot tie rail. Do you have a tractor or skid-steer that can haul rocks? Bring rakes/shovels for smoothing lime chips---gloves and boots suggested to work in the lime chips.

 

Trails: Need mowing and some clearing of downed trees (need 2 crews for trail work). Bring 4-wheelers/chainsaws and tools and/or heavy duty walk behind or 4-wheeler pulled mowers.

Campgrounds: Post-Labor Day clean-up. Trash and recycle bags provided. Bring gloves and hand tools you want to use.

Painting: Bridge at Martin Pond and kiosk at Bitternut.

Bring Iowa deposit cans and bottles for fundraiser. Also, sort collected cans and bottles.
