It is important to acknowledge the contractors who have donated their services or provided services at a much reduced cost to help us accomplish work this season. It is equally important to acknowledge the many volunteers who have worked tirelessly to help prepare for each phase of the project.
    Many of these volunteers are retired but have donated their time and equipment and personally paid for thousands of dollars in materials to help us achieve our goals this season.

Thanks to Everyone for Your Help
