We're happy to say our clean-up party this past Saturday was a big success. The team managed to clear all overgrowth on the south side of Pond 1. The nuisance, smothering vegetation of focus was oriental bittersweet, honeysuckle and vines. We freed up several good native trees, like the 3 big sycamores, some oaks and a redbud, amongst a few others. 

The IKES board thoroughly thanks all participants and members for their efforts in keeping the IKES clean and serene. We hope to see you at the IKES soon.

Thank you to Nick Kanczuzewski, Joel Bowers, and Kenson Kanczuzewski for planning the fishing stocking;  Nick Kanczuzewski for ordering the fish and supervising the fish delivery; and to Nick Kanczuzewski and Logistick, Inc., for the generous donation to help pay for the fish.  Good job guys.
