2026 Trek Work Party
I received the following correspondence from the folks from the USFW team on Hart Mtn. Regarding the joint Work Party during the Trek. Great accolades for sure. Special thanks to the 14 antelopers who put forth the effort to make this project such a success. No doubt the most productive and enjoyable joint work party so far.

Hello Spud,I wanted to take a moment to express my genuine gratitude for the incredible effort everyone put in over the weekend. The turnout and enthusiasm from Order of the Antelope was truly inspiring with 14 people dedicating four hours each is no small feat, and the result speaks for itself. Building seven beaver dam structures and one rock dam in such a short time shows what teamwork and commitment can accomplish. Your dedication made a real difference for the restoration project, and I am excited to see how these improvements benefit the landscape and wildlife in the coming months.Looking forward to more great projects together in the future!Shannon Ludwig
