Summary
The October and November 2012 Beaver Beacon issues describe the Wildlife Club’s effort to repair its walleye-raising pond and turtle barrier after pond failures left no fry for Lake Geneserath stocking that year. The November issue reports that volunteers and students removed deteriorated liner, repaired the fencing and turtle guard, prepared the pond bottom, and completed the October 13 workday in anticipation of 2013 use.
Evidence limits
The October issue describes a planned volunteer workday, while the November issue reports the workday and repairs. Neither issue establishes the later 2013 stocking results.
