On July 22, Friends education coordinator Tim Hansel and Friends Board Member Ken Wiesner participated in a fun event sponsored by Marshall Boats. Tim and Ken presented a shore briefing about the Conservancy and its watershed. The small, but eager group then took to the water for a tour up Pheasant Branch Creek north from Century Avenue. It was a beautiful night to see the Conservancy from a water perspective.

This event is organized by Marshall Boats as a benefit for the Friends of Pheasant Branch. Funds collected from participants are donated to the Friends.
