Upcoming Events
Fall - 04-OCT-2025:
Our West Central WWOA will meet Saturday, Oct. 4th at the Gas-Lite Bar & Restaurant, W8945 U.S Hwy. 10, Hager City (actually straight west of Ellsworth on 10).
The tour offers a walk around a picturesque 78-acre bluff- and bottoms woodlot on the Big River. Woodlot is co-owned by Rich & Ruth Ruemmele, and Steve & Sue Dzubay. The entrance gate (look for orange surveyor’s tape) is located just beyond an unrelated, private home at W10712 550th Ave. The Ruemmele-Dzubay parcel, acquired in 1994. remains a work-in-progress. Improvements include 10-12 acres of mixed plantings that replace the former cropland; the addition of two field roads and several trails, partnership with the Pierce Co. Snowmobile Assoc. on a premier bridge over a trout stream, and continued restoration on an acre of native prairie.
