Clean Boats Clean Waters

205 hours were logged at the boat launch during the summer of 2025 by 38 amazing volunteers (11 of those were new this year). 

Nine volunteers put in over 10 hours with one person stacking up 23 hours—THANK YOU LORI HENDERSON. 

This is the 3rd year of successfully acquiring the required 200 hours to remain eligible for state grants. In addition, it helps educate those using Pine Lake about invasive species and the ways people can help prevent the spread. 

THANK YOU to ALL who were willing to give their time.

The CBCW program has enabled the Lake Association to:

  • apply for large grants,

  • educate those who use the lake,

  • introduce lake people to other lake people

  • improve the health of our lake…

Let’s keep it going!

As avid lake supporters, we all hope to prevent the further spread of invasive species in our lake (zebra mussels, more Eurasian water-milfoil, curly-leaf pondweed, spiny water fleas, viral hemorrhagic septicemia…).  Last year we had 38 volunteers (goal is 50) put in over 200 hours. Let’s beat both those numbers. 

Any questions? Contact Sarah Kirchhoff or Ginnie Detloff.

Clean Boats Clean Waters 2024

Clean Boats Clean Waters 2024 was a resounding success and here are the numbers to prove it:

  • 38 Pine Lakers volunteered this summer.

  • 203 hours were logged in at the boat launch! 

  • 13 new people volunteered, 11 of whom were recruited by Lori Henderson and Cindy Lou Radcliffe

  • A 94 year-old is our oldest volunteer and contributed 3 hours (can any other lake in WI beat that?)

  • 204 boaters were educated by the our volunteers.

A shout-out to Lori Henderson who contributed the largest number of hours, however, it took ALL 38 participants to get us to reach the required 200 hours. 

Remember to: KEEP CBCW ALIVE in 2025:
