LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Coastal Cleanup Day is coming to Clear Lake on Saturday, Sept. 21.

This is the perfect opportunity for Lake County citizen volunteers to help clean shorelines, streams and creeks, and prevent trash from entering the lake and degrading the aquatic environment.

Volunteers are encouraged to participate at any of the seven shoreline locations within the county and city of Clearlake. Materials such as gloves and trash bags will be provided.

Kayakers, boaters and waders are also strongly encouraged to participate, as trash can be found on land and in the water.

Want to go green? Bring your own bucket or reusable bags to help collect trash and save the landfill from more plastic.
