We’ll be gathering on Sandhill, 40 acres owned by Cynthia Bartoo and Ralph Jacobson for almost 30 years, north of Menominee, Wisconsin.
Join us, arriving anytime between 11AM & 3PM.
Harvest quirky Jack Pines for Xmas trees or boughs, or cut yourself some firewood. Donations accepted. Or get away on a tromp through woods and prairie.
Looks like we’ll have snow. If so, there’s nice cross-country skiing through mixed forest & prairie environments, and there’s a little downhill sledding.
Check out the re-growth from the “three acres of logging for tax-breaks” that happened in 2004.

Hot cider. Kid friendly: warming tent & porta-potti available on site.
Plus:
*Talk about the Quaker Community Forest vision and our hopes for this land.
*Discuss and implement some of Ralph & Cynthia’s DNR-approved forest maintenance activities.

If you think you might come, please let Cynthia know. This is because we are uncertain enough about the weather that we want to know how many to prepare for, especially children, and also how long we should stay out there, to welcome latecomers. Cynthia will have information, maps and car-pooling connections. (It’s about a 90 minute drive from the Twin Cities.)

If you are carpooling with us, arrive at Ralph and Cynthia’s at 8:30. We’ll pack ourselves and our gear into as few cars as possible and
Depart for Sandhill at 8:45.

If you come, but don’t carpool, here are directions.

Bring a hand saw if you have one. And loppers. We will have extras.

Bring your own lunch. We’ll have a stove, cider and tea.
