Enjoy the benefits people get from being with other people, staying active, and above all having a sense of value in society that may not be as clear in other areas of life. Here are some ways you can help:
1. Mowing (we will teach people to use the hatchery tractor & small mower to accomplish this) & weedeating. Some flower bed care.
2. Repair of Catwalks, nets, belt feeders, aerators, etc.
3. Inventory of hatchery property (a project almost 2 years overdue) and general building cleaning.
4. Power washing of round ponds and raceways as they are emptied
5. We still need help at the TOTF Pond on Saturday mornings on May 1st, 8th, 15th, & 22nd.
6. We will be splitting fish from some raceways to other ponds for the summer once we have stocking completed.
