Double Z Cowboy Corral – Peaceful Waters Restoration Project

Double Z Cowboy Corral

Other Water Body

The Peaceful Waters Restoration Project will restore the two scenic ponds located in the back pasture of Double Z Cowboy Corral. Home to large fish and connected by a charming bridge leading to a small island, this area will become a quiet retreat for families, veterans, seniors, and visitors to fish, picnic, observe wildlife, or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Planned improvements include shoreline cleanup, removal of debris and invasive vegetation, improved fishing access, benches, picnic areas, native landscaping, wildlife habitat enhancements, educational signage, and regular community volunteer cleanup days. The project will preserve the natural beauty of the ponds while creating an outdoor space that promotes conservation, agriculture, recreation, and community wellness.

More cleaning up, fewer rules and political motives

Drainage
Private Event

As a self-employed and struggling senior citizen, there are very few ways for me to take part. I don't like being held back by paperwork and videos, being told when I can start and when I must stop. Being basically unwanted and barely tolerated by the young and athletic. If only there were an option, I'd like a couple T-shirts that actually fit me to wear proudly but would supply my own tash bags and gloves. I'll be out there cleaning my own storm drain when the weather and my health allows. If anyone wants to help me or for me to help them, sometime in September, lets get together. Meanwhile, I have no interest in the politics and statistics gathering etc - I'm just a guy who wants to clean up the litter whether or not Love the Boot can afford to give me a T-shirt. I think there are a LOT of people like me, who just can't find a way to participate without all the hassles and age-ism.
