Our Current Project
New Basketball & Volleyball Courts
This is a project that retired Hatchery Manager (12/31/2020) Ed Stege was hoping for, so the Friends group is happy to re-build the basketball & volleyball courts in his honor. The equipment has been purchased (thank you!) and is currently being installed!! Pics soon!
Our Future Project
Pollinator Garden & Kids Fishing Pond
Once the Basketball & Volleyball Courts are completed, we are planning on building a pollinator garden and kids fishing pond!
Planning has begun!!!
Our Previous Projects
Window Restoration – 2019-2021
The Friends Group has completed the window restoration project to replace the replacement glass block windows in the Hatchery building with modern double pane glass windows that will mimic the look of the original 1890 windows. They are beautiful!
