Michigan State University “Pay It Forward” by Helping Clean Normandy Lake

A group from Michigan State University found out about the cleanup work the Coffee County Youth Bass Club has been doing at Normandy Lake and wanted to help. On Thursday 160 students made their way to the lake on their “Pay It Forward” tour. This was part of their week-long spring break trip.
The Michigan State University students and others began working on the cleanup. They worked with Tennessee Bass Nation (TBN) members Gary Lahr, Coffee County Coach Phillip Petty, TBN South Central Region Director and BASS National Conservation Director Jake Davis, 3 Coffee County anglers (Adam Petty, Jayden Yates, and Sawyer Banks), along with David Jordan from Tims Ford Council and the entire TWRA Region 2 fishery crews, with their 2 barges and 3 net boats worked to clean up the lake on the cool, wet and windy day. This is the third Coffee County Bass Club cleanup.
Coffee County Solid Waste provided a dumpster.
