Sounds reasonable given COVID still being an issue I suppose. Is there any word on whether they'll allow volunteers to help stock. PA seems as though they are going to, wonder if NJ is following suit.

Now we just have to hope for a good storm between 3/15 and 4/1 to raise the streams and spread the fish.
