Volunteer campers provide extra helping hands to lake staff

The staff at Patoka Lake in Dubois, Indiana, recently welcomed two members of the “family” back, just in time for the busy summer months ahead at the lake. Tim and Margie Carter aren’t paid staff members, instead, they are volunteer campers who help with various tasks to help maintain the property in exchange for being able to park and connect their 38-foot camper there.

The buzz around Patoka Lake is that pollinators are an important part of nature

This week is National Pollinator Week, June 20-26, and those interested in learning about pollinators and how they fit into the ecosystem can visit Patoka Lake in Dubois, Ind., to see some local pollinators in action.  Patoka Lake is home to two hives of honeybees – each containing 20,000 to 60,000 of the flying little pollinators.
