Water Willow Planting - NEW DATE 8/13/11

[John Loebach]

The 2011 Fox water willow planting is rescheduled for Saturday 8/13/11 starting at 8am at Glenwood Forest Preserve by the old lower Batavia dam.

Continued rain & high water should improve in a few weeks. With help from Friends of the Fox, DRiFT, & other volunteers we will plant about 1000 water willows on shoreline & midriver bars from Clarke island down to Les Arendts Forest Preserve. With a good complement of help we should be done by noon & the ISA will provide lunch. Definate potential to fish afterwards so make time & bring your gear. A number of our members know this stretch well & this is a great opportunity to help the river & benefit from that experience.

Once again the wet weather rears its head. Third times a charm We will get this done!

Bump!

Hope all have noted this change. A couple weeks should let the water come down.

I plan on fishing after we are done planting? Anyone else?

[John Loebach]

At the moment it looks like we will plant - lets hope for no more rain & lower water levels. Temperatures look great. I'll post again by Thursday pm.

Confirmed 8AM Saturday at Glenwood F.P. on Rte. 25 just south of Batavia. I have arranged for an upgrade for lunch - Ham or Turkey subs by O'Brien's Pub in downtown Batavia. Water levels good, temp's mild, be there or be square! Bring fishing gear, Eugene, Tim & I plan to fish after.
