GOOD NEWS! ..........Last evening our  hunting and fishing club approved the prototype bucket structures to be placed in the largest pond. A small amount of money was allotted for the purchase of PVC materials and other various supplies to be used in the vertical habitats. One member even donated the winnings from our monthly 50/50 raffle to help fund the project. I hope to have over two dozen various structures to install when the ice thaws. After a year of effort, more members are coming aboard to support this project. It's rewarding to finally see some progress after lots of initial resistance.

PVC materials have been purchased and initial layout and prep work is underway in my garage. Hopefully I will complete it this afternoon. I'll then have to get it all loaded and delivered down to the club. It looks as if Saturday may be the first work day to start assembling the structures. If I get technical help from my grandkids, I'll try and post some photos of what we're building and installing. Interest seems to be increasing among some of the club members. Some of you folks may be curious too.
