KAB Vol Opp: Clean Lady Bird Lake
Tue, 11/03/2009 - 16:06 — brian
12/05/2009 - 09:00 12/05/2009 - 11:00 Etc/GMT-6 Clean Lady Bird Lake December 5, 2009 Love Lady Bird Lake but hate the styrofoam washed up along its shoreline? Join hundreds of volunteers in an increased effort to put the finishing touches on this beautiful asset to our community. Volunteers will have a rewarding morning as they search high and low for every last bit of trash and get to know other lake enthusiasts.
There are five starting locations for shoreline volunteers, and on-the-water volunteer will have boats provided by Texas Rowing Center, Zilker Boat Rentals, and Rowing Dock. Volunteers who’d like to bring their own boats may join the Sierra Club cleanup starting at the NW corner of the lake/I-35 or join KAB volunteers launching from the International Youth Hostel, 2200 South Lakeshore Blvd. (See registration link below for more details). On-the-Water volunteers for most of the sites should be 16 years or older (on-the-water volunteers with LCRA should be 18 or accompanied by an adult guardian).
After a semester of learning about water testing, pollution solutions, and trash students from KAB’s Green Teens program are ready to wow you with their knowledge. Date: Saturday, December 5th Time: 9am-11am Location: all around Lady Bird Lake Registration: CLICK HERE to register Website: www.KeepAustinBeautiful.org/LadyBirdLake Prizes and refreshments provided by: Austin Rowing Club, Baby Acapulco, Docs Motorworks, Dominican Joe, Four Seasons, & Lift Cafe
If you'd like to donate a prize for our fantastic volunteers please email Jessica@KeepAustinBeautiful.org
This program is made possible thanks to generous donations from The Trail Foundation and Watershed Protection Development Review. CLICK HERE to see fun photos from the last large scale lake cleanup. |
