Join us on Saturday from 8:30 a.m. - 11:00 a.m., as we focus on clearing around the Bald Cypress trees near the observation tower. 200 trees were planted in 2020 as part of the lakefront restoration project in partnership with Cherrylake; many of the trees have shown beautiful growth, but the area does need regular maintenance to give them the room and care they need to thrive.
