Help clean up Lake Travis
Friday, August 12, 2022 by Tai Moses
Whether you dive, paddle or walk, you’ll be welcome at the 28th annual Lake Travis fall cleanup. The spring cleanup in April collected 10,080 pounds of trash, but don’t worry: There’s plenty more garbage in that pond and at the 11 county parks around the lake for volunteers to scoop up. Morning and afternoon shifts available. Cleanup supplies like gloves, trash bags and grabbers will be provided. Dive volunteers must be certified and must provide their own equipment. Shoreline and paddler volunteers register here; dive volunteers register here. Sept. 11, 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
