We are non profit, solely privately funded and totally dependant upon volunteer labor. We also try to do an annual "litter pick up" around the Park and have collected about 100 bags in those 4 yrs. COE and ODNR and the Ohio Dept of Parks have ALL been very cooperative and helpful in our endeavor. The cover SEEMS to be helping the overall panfish population, particularly the yellow perch which had seemed to be declining in numbers recently as the result of decomposing of their former spawning cover. 4 yrs later their overall numbers AND size seem to be rebounding, and the cover provides good crappie spawn cover also.
