Grand Lake Shoreline Cleanup scheduled for Saturday, September 20…
Lending a hand to clean up Lady Grand...
Grand River Dam Authority Lake Patrolman Jason Littlefield and volunteers taking part in a previous Grand Lake shoreline cleanup event help load old dock foam into a dumpster. On Saturday, September 20, Grand Lake shoreline cleanup will again be the goal. In fact, there will be several dumpster sites designated for shoreline trash all around Grand Lake. Those sites will include the Grand River Dam Authority Lake Patrol Headquarters in Langley; the Grand Lake Public Works Authority on Monkey Island; the lot on North Highway 59, next to Cedar Oaks in Grove; and the Grand Lake RV Resort in Duck Creek.
The dumpsters will be available from 9 AM to 2 PM (Please! No household or commercial trash or brush!). As an added incentive, the first 50 volunteers disposing of shoreline trash at each site will receive a free, “eco friendly” reusable water bottle. GRDA, along with the Grand Lake Sail and Power Squadron, Grand Lake Area Chamber of Commerce and the Monkey Island Association are joining forces to make this event possible. However it will be the dedicated efforts of hundreds of lake area volunteers who make the event successful.
