End of May has been very active !Jac staffed the bookstore, took lots of working photos, began working on the draft displays and put together a kids "touch n feel" bookshelf... with items found around the area ... painted turtle shell, turkey & canadian geese feathers, mu sell shells, bird eggs, deer antlers etc. It's fun to watch the kids & adults handling the items.... and then I have my laptop on to show the animals in real life.
BV had framed up the two 8x18 RV patios.... one afternoon he & the staff (even the biologists)poured and finished them. We had to wait a day for them to cure, but we promptly set out the lawn chairs, tables, outdoor fan and cooler - inviting folks to come by and join us for some "cold ones" in celebration of a project well done !The Paddlefish eggs (spawned from wild fish caught earlier) hatched into fry and when they grew to just less than a half inch long, over 400,000 were bagged and taken to the outdoor ponds for release. Later in the fall after growing several inches, staff will release them into various rivers. Paddlefish can age to over 50 years and reach 100 pounds.
And there is always grounds maintenance..... BV spends time mowing or weed eating, filling holes & re-seeding, trimming etc.
Just another day volunteering !!!!
