Leopold Bench Workshop
Lake Meyer Park and Campground, Winneshiek County
Sunday, March 4, 2018
Winneshiek County Conservation will be hosting a workshop to
build Leopold Benches on Sunday, March 4 at 2:00 pm at the maintenance shop at
Lake Meyer Park.
These simple but elegant benches, designed by famous
conservationist and author Aldo Leopold, are perfect for circling around a
campfire, nestling in a shady spot in your yard, or even settling in a quiet
corner of your home.
All materials and tools for building an untreated pine bench
will be provided.
Registration is required by Friday, March 2 as space will be
limited. Please call (563) 534-7145 to register.
A $30 material fee per bench will be due at the time of the
workshop.
All participants under the age of 15 must be accompanied by
an adult. The workshop will involve the use of power tools. Participants must
have a way to transport their finished benches home.
Lake Meyer Park is located off of Highway 24 between Calmar
and Fort Atkinson. Contact Winneshiek County Conservation at (563) 534-7145 for
more information.
