A ceremonial groundbreaking took place today, June 2, at Muller Field Station to mark the official start of a renovation project to construct a 24-person, handicap accessible bunkhouse, a bus turnaround, and expanded parking. “The nearly $4 million expansion we begin today is more than a construction project — it is an investment in access, in education and in the environment,” said FLCC President Robert Nye. The renovations will allow for more immersive experiences in the wooded and wetland habitats at the 48-acre property at the south end of Honeoye Lake.
