There’s “Stihl” time for Driftless Area chapters to apply for a grant to purchase equipment from the forest and landscape equipment company.
Stihl continues to be a great partner for TU’s work in the Driftless area, strengthening a collaboration that started several years ago.
Under the partnership agreement, Stihl representatives from the Midwest region gather at a TU chapter work site to assist members and supporters with work that requires power tools. The chapter also is awarded a $1,500 certificate to be used toward the purchase of Stihl equipment.
The most recent recipient of the award was the Win-Cres chapter, which gathered for a workday on Little Pickwick Creek in Minnesota. The chapter received some fantastic equipment to assist with their volunteer access and habitat practices and they hosted an incredibly productive workday with Stihl’s professional sawyers.
If your chapter would like a chance to win a workday with Stihl and some equipment to help with your chapter’s volunteer labors, please submit a letter of interest that describes your chapter’s volunteer activities, your priority work areas or projects, and how you would make use of a workday and equipment to help improve trout habitat and fishing access in your area.
Submissions should be sent to Sara at sara.strassman@tu.org by Dec. 31.
