in the water. It is important for pet(s) to be on leashes while visiting the

(Posted 04/11/06) Volunteer Efforts to Pull Garlic Mustard at the Asylum Lake Preserve.
Asylum Lake Preservation Association is looking for volunteers
to help pull Garlic Mustard from the oak savannah portion of the
Asylum Lake property. Weather permitting, we will meet at 9:00
on Saturday, April 22, 2006 at the WMU-Gibbs House on Parkview
Avenue, and we will work until noon. Remember to bring gloves.
(Posted 04/11/06) Coyote Sightings
We were recently informed by a frequent visitor to the Asylum Lake Preserve of two,
possibly three, coyotes on the property. His dog was not on a leash and ran after the cyotes.
The dog sustained some injurys from the encounter. This is another reason to keep your
dog on a leash while visiting the property.
