What to expect:
Volunteers perform a wide variety of tasks designed to improve the lake. For all lakes, volunteers can either get in canoes or kayaks, or walk around in adjacent neighborhoods to pick up litter and help us keep track of the debris entering the lake. On many lakes, volunteers have the option of putting on chest waders and getting into the shallow edge of the lake to remove weeds and install plants.
We try to match the volunteer to the task, as everything the volunteers do is helpful. We want to make it fun and give volunteers a sense of real accomplishment!
Please bring water in a reusable container. All other supplies are provided. Wear closed-toe shoes. Hats are advisable!
