Great Backyard Bird Count
The Great Backyard Bird Count is an annual four-day event that engages
bird watchers of all ages in counting birds in their area. Anyone can
participate, from beginners to experts. Count birds anywhere for as little
or as long as you wish. It’s free, fun, and easy—and it helps the birds.

Outdoor Pool Planning
Crystal Lake Pool stakeholders have attended two in a series of open meetings that will be key to the preliminary planning process for an outdoor aquatic facility to replace Crystal Lake Pool.
Those who committed to the entire process are assisting the district in preparing the program statement for a new facility. A program statement is essential to preparing a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) that can be given to potential pool design firms who will come up with a concept plan that can be taken to voters.
