BFS 2014-2015 Volunteer Workdays started with a splash, as volunteers plunged into pHake Lake to cut back cattails around the boat landing area. Here you can see some of them at work:

Cattail cutting will be continuing for the next few workdays. If you’re up for getting wet and muddy, come cool off in pHake Lake!
