Students from Wawasee High School FFA, along with other volunteers, spent a weekend morning recently helping to clean several years worth of weeds out of Lake Tippecanoe along Walker’s Park, Black’s Landing and Bigler’s Landing. It was a pilot project sponsored by the Lake Tippecanoe Property Owners Association with the goal of removing decaying weeds and leaves that pollute the lake by releasing phosphorus.

Local residents will continue to maintain their clean shorelines. Volunteers included, in no particular order, Eli Kitt, Evan Kitt, Andrew Busse, Aaron Becker, Breanna Hullinger, Jessica Hamilton, Seth Helfers, Jessica Wilson, Anne Beer, Brittany Ryckman, Gianna Hochstetler, Kevin Schlipf, Glendorra Hochstetler, Ryan Schlipf, Drew Beer, Victoria Edwards and Isaac Dorrel.
