Summary
Bill Wagner was reported constructing nesting platforms above Greenes Lake for an intended native goose colony and planning wood-duck nests near the water’s edge. The April follow-up says the goose platforms and wood-duck boxes were ready. The same March report notes habitat cutting behind Johnny Martin’s gravel pit.
Evidence and limits
The account records habitat work and intentions, not the later establishment of a goose colony, nest occupancy, acreage, or a complete project record.
