Cleaning the Lake Continues
After
years of neglect, illegal trash dumping and dangerously low water levels, CLPS organized hundreds of volunteers to clean up the beaches and areas surrounding
the lake.
Past Lake Clean UP Dates: April 19, 2008
-- Earth Day
September 17, 2005 April 8, 2006 April 14, 2007 September 15, 2007
Community volunteers have gathered to spend a day hauling trash and junk from the lake and the lake shore.
Local television crews and newspapers have covered the event. Many generous businesses contributed food, prizes
or sevices for the workers.
Even local VIPs from both Iowa and Nebraska pitched in to help with the effort. By the end of
the day, hundreds of tires and tons of glass, metal, wood and various things defying description were removed, recycled or
taken away for appropriate disposal. The photos below capture some of the excitement of Lake Clean-Up Day!
