10 REASONS WHY FEEDING WATERFOWL IS HARMFUL

The following website; hardeybordercollies.com  is very informative regarding humans feeding waterfowl in particular the Canada Goose.  Here is the list 10 reasons NOT to feed them:

Read this article in its entirety for the detailed explanations of these 10 reasons listed.  You will be surprised what harm we humans are causing to these creatures.  Birds have amazing survival skills....so we should not interfere.  Food quality is critical.  Because they will eat most anything does not mean what we feed them is harmless...white bread can be actually fatal to waterfowl.  Lets educate ourselves about their needs and how nature intended them to survive.

LANDSCAPING IMPROVEMENTS

The landscaping at the rear and west side of the Village Hall continues to progress and work should soon be completed in these areas.  In addition, Council members have created a Beautification Committee to enrich the landscape around the lake by planting trees and flowers.  Both Michael Milbrandt and Joe French are heading this committee and hope to finalize plans sometime in the Spring of 2024.

2024 Goals/Planning by Council

* Pass a renewal of our road levy in the March primary election.

* Renovate the rear deck of the Village Hall. There are safety concerns with its current condition.

*Build community through informative/social events for residents.

*Partner with the Meyers Lake Sportsman's Club for a Labor Day Concert.

*Develop a Beautification Project and enhance landscaping around the Village in the Spring of 2024.
