CANCELLED:  Due to some technical complications, we have to cancel the planned Trout Lake nesting beach work party.  We will let you know when we reschedule.
In the past month, we have constructed two new beaches, at Garden Bay Lake and Sakinaw Lake parking lot.  We have one more to build before nesting season starts in a month - this one at Trout Lake. We are planning to have a community work party next weekend on Saturday May 5 from 11AM to 3PM.  We need to shuttle loads of sand from one side of the lake to the other in a boat, so there will be lots of shoveling required to fill buckets with sand, and then dumping them and spreading them on the nest enhancement site.  If this sounds type of activity sounds like fun to you, please join us!  The turtles will thank you!
