What a great success all you wonderful volunteers made our activity day! On Sunday April 27, at least 10 full-grownups came, and at least twice that many kids of all ages.

We have a spring-fed pond that doesn’t have a name. Think of a name that this pond would really be happy with…work days to make it more beautiful…fish and muscrats and other critters living there…native plants coming to make it feel really at home… Turn your suggested name in to Shirley Simms at the Pinelake [...]
