Thank you to everyone who joined us for our annual meeting on April 12. We shared information about the work we do for the park and enjoyed listening to Amanda Smith (Hamilton County Parks & Recreation) speak about Historic and Native Plants of Indiana.
Garlic Mustard Pull
We've had numerous volunteers help with two garlic mustard pulls. Thanks to all of your hard work, we are noticing a difference in the amount of garlic mustard in the park.
Visitor's Center Pond Repair
Thank you to everyone who helped to repair the pond at the Visitor's Center. Volunteers worked to remove the old liner and add a new liner. They also added some new plants and added mulch in the garden.
National Trails Day
To help celebrate National Trails Day a group of volunteers armored and removed overgrowth from a section of the "Tree ID" trail.
Delaware Lake Shelter Painting
Park Bench Installation
The friends group recently installed two new benches at the Delaware Lake playground. Look for more benches, provided by the friends, in the future around the park.
Several volunteers helped us put a coat of "park brown" paint on the Delaware Lake Shelter. After our painting, we all enjoyed a cookout.
