| Field Work |
| Field Work involves using bow saws, loppers and stump pullers to remove invasive and non-native species. This allows native species to thrive with less competition. We provide tools, or you can bring your own. This can be a great project for families to do together, as kids over ten years old are welcome when accompanied by parents or other adults who can supervise them. |

| Individually Arranged Projects |
| Individually arranged projects are always possible at Dane County Parks. If your group has a specific date in mind, or even if you don’t, and would like to do a community service project, we will arrange a project for you that suits your schedule, your group’s age, and our needs. And if you are just one person with an idea, give us a call and we’ll see how we can work together. |
