Friends of Woods Lake

Friends of Woods Lake (FOWL) have been working on improving Kalamazoo's only public beach for the past two (or more?) years. The park is in the southern part of the Winchell Neighborhood.

On Sunday, Sean presented the Volunteer Appreciation Award to Chris Bartley (second from left), who talked about the work which had been accomplished and plans for future improvements. One of FOWL's major accomplishments is the removal of invasive plant species. Volunteers replace these with native plants.

Pictured, left to right, are Ruth Olmsted, Bartley, Gary Wager, Frank Wolf, and Sean McCann.
