Estimated crew time needed, in weeks:

Season best suited for project:(Required)

Some project partners request any summer or fall week. Other partners (we call them "anchors") have a specific timeframe for implementing their project. Generally speaking, the bigger the project, the more lead time we will need to build the project into our crew calendar. Generally speaking, WisCorps will lock in crew projects six months (or more) ahead of time, with executed contracts falling into place three months (or more) ahead of the project.

Please list all tools & equipment required to complete project:

WisCorps issues its own trail tool sets and herbicide equipment to crews. This includes your standard trail complement, plus backpack and hand sprayers, and dabbers. We have our own PPE. We do not store chemicals and, therefore, request that our project partners supply chemicals if a project requires them. We also supply each five-person crew with two chainsaws and all the necessary PPE. Brush saws can be issued out when necessary.

Can you provide crew housing accommodations or camping at or near the project site?(Required)

About 25% of project partners do not want to reserve and manage crew lodging and would instead like to focus on their project. That’s fine; WisCorps would build in a housing line-item expense into the agreement. Think $8k instead of $7.5k per week.

Yes

Unsure

Please describe the accommodations. Where is it located? What amenities are available?

Crew accommodations take many forms. Sometimes, they are primitive campgrounds; other times, they are a few state park campsites. Our crews are even welcomed into a few residential and or rental houses, mainly after November 1st, because this is when WisCorps requires its project partners to provide indoor housing.

Describe the Project Manager's role in ensuring the project is well-organized.

Project partners provide the overall guidance of the project (a minimum of two visits per week)

Do you currently have funding to support material and crew costs of the project?(Required)

For each project, we ask that a funding be provided to cover a portion of the total crew cost in exchange for the field services. Cost-shares range from $7,000 -$8,000 per week of fieldwork.

Yes

If your organization or agency does not have funds available, please elaborate.(Required)
