Carl's email

  Goat Island Boat Club member Carl Cagle was recognized as a Hero of Conservation by Toyota and Field & Stream magazine. Carl was recognized for his lead in a fund raising effort by the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, which used a sterile grass-eating carp to control the nonnative invasive weed "hydrilla". Carl was also recognized for his annual lake cleanup work. See Carl's entire article in the June 2011 issue of Field & Stream magazine on page 31.

Carl's recognition earned him a $500 grant from Toyota; which in typical fashion for Carl, he turned around and donated the entire $500 to the Goat Island Boat Club Scholarship Fund.

Congratulations Carl, you are truly a Hero of Conservation.
