Ice Cleanup Day 2023 was held on March 25
About 2 dozen volunteers (and a few that just went out from their homes without gathering at the landing) met at the public access / landing at 10:00 am, Saturday March 25. The twice postponed event did not yield significant areas of trash but the group did tackle the abandoned shelter on the west bay. Chisels, chainsaw and a lot of elbow grease went into removing most of the junk this person had left in his submerged, frozen ice shelter, (see photos)
Thank you to everyone who helped, sacrificed equipment, and hauled away trash!

back story - Each year, typically on the first Saturday following the ice shelter removal deadline, Volunteers comb the lake ice for trash and discarded materials before the ice melts and deposits the garbage into our lake. Plan on spending a few hours with us that day - every little bit helps! Thank you to all the folks who volunteer their time each year!
