Lake Clean-up - September

Nolin River Lake

Clean-Up Campaign

 

WE NEED YOUR HELP!   Be a Volunteer! Pontoons needed! Groups (church, boy scout, girl scout, and such) are needed as volunteers!   Come enjoy a beautiful fall day, while helping to preserve the beauty of Nolin Lake.

Come out for the 11th Annual Lakeshore Clean-up Campaign.  It is a wonderful opportunity for the whole family to volunteer, make a difference on Nolin Lake and enjoy and promote environmental stewardship in our community.   Participants can show up at Moutardier Ramp, Wax Ramp, Dog Creek Ramp, or Nolin Lake State Park Ramp at 8:00am on Saturday, September 14th and help keep Nolin River Lake beautiful.  Bring your pontoon to help transport volunteers along the lake shore.  After the clean-up we will have a volunteer appreciation event at Moutardier that includes music, food and prizes.

• Know how many are in your group and account for them regularly.
• Plan ahead - find out as much as possible about the area prior to your cleanup day.
• Wear work gloves and sturdy boots/shoes when needed.

• Know what to do in the event of an emergency.
• Remember that everyone should stay with the group and not wander.
• Be careful of the sun.  Wear a hat, sunglasses and carry sunscreen to prevent burning.

• If uncertain about an individual's swimming ability, ask that they wear a life jacket when walking along the shoreline during your cleanup effort.
• Keep all litter collected in garbage bags.
