Summary

On May 22, 2017, eleven volunteers carried out a cleanup at the St. James Township Campground. The reported work included cleaning picnic tables, trimming brush, opening lake views and the entrance, and painting the hand pump.

Evidence limits

The result comes from the township/community follow-up and is strong evidence of the reported volunteer activity. It does not provide a formal maintenance record, cost accounting, or independent inspection.
