Thank you to all the volunteers who made the Boat Removal Assistance Day a success!
Several crews of volunteers came equipped with trucks and/or trailers to help community residents move their boats to their homes. The turnout of volunteers and residents was amazing. Nearly 40 boats were moved. In addition, trailer loads of garbage were removed from boat storage areas and other areas of the parkland.
All remaining boat owners are reminded to remove their boats by December 1st. Removal of the boats annually allows for parkland clearing and cleanup around boat storage areas, reduces the amount of abandoned boats that have been historically left on the parkland each year, removes chains annually to prevent choking of healthy trees and ensures only active boats return to the parkland in the spring.
Thanks to all those who helped!
