Looking for a skid steer

Helllooo!! Greetings on this most beautiful day and for many-- a most holy week (whether around the table, in the sanctuary, or the stream) Next Saturday April 26th we are all coming together to keep our drinking water clean, and the trash out of our fishing holes. Last week we went into the field with Rod Fye from Centre County Recycling & Refuse Authority to scope out some sites for the Annual PVCA Streambank Cleanup.  This is what we found-- creosote covered rail ties in flowing water not too far from Paradise Road near a sink hole.    We have permission from the landowner (who is not doing the dumping) to remove these old rail ties, but we are looking for a volunteer who may have a skid steer (or a hardy tractor) to help remove these on Saturday April 26th. The Townships are not able to use equipment on private land (and Bill Wolfe is out of town)--- can YOU help us out?
