Recent high lake levels, wind and waves have thrown major trash and weeds on the Olbrich shoreline…
making a major mess.

However…
dropping lake levels has left the exposed mess easy to pick up, sort and rake.

So…
Friends of Starkweather will collaborate with Madison Parks to expand our already planned FUN paddle…
to BOTH paddle and walk, fun and work, silly and serious…
with a campfire and hot chocolate to enhance the experience.

Last year’s post flood clean-up of this area felt extremely fulfilling and connecting to the 20ish hardy helpers…
despite (or because of) cold windy rain.

Details here.

Feel the force
and find the fulfillment
for when we heal the watershed
we heal ourselves
