Warming House Update

Thank you Lions volunteers, Roger Osmundson and his crew of volunteers for the group effort in building the Seeley Hills Trail Shelter

Thank you, Tom Matthiae, and Dan Tiller, and other Lions volunteers, for your work on the firewood shed at the Seeley Hills Trail Shelter.

 

The building, located about two miles from Seeley, is open to the public year around. Enjoy it and the trails!

Thank you everyone for the  $300 cash and check donations have been left in the donation box.  Over the winter we collected about $200

All money has gone toward the building projects for the shelter and woodshed.

Future needs for this project are the following:

• Staining
• Stacking wood
