Renovating the Ponds.
Ducks unlimited has renovated, constructed/installed new water control structures, culverts, and dikes that will allowus to flood ponds that haven't been used in years. Plans are being developed to renovate Little Piute in 2014.

2012 Tree Harvest and Planting Project
On June 22 and 23 (Friday and Saturday) volunteers harvested over 7,000 saplings from the Prado basin area and planted them at Piute. This was a big job and needed a lot of helping hands and willing spirits.
