Love-Your-Lake Program
As part of the Love Your Lake program (LYL) volunteers “adopt” a lake they agree to clean at least twice yearly. This cleaning includes emptying fire pits of ash, removing illegal fire pits, collecting and removing garbage, reporting large items that need to be removed, and engaging with the public.
All volunteers must complete a LYL volunteer training before adopting a lake. If interested please contact Lyndell Wilken lyndellwilken@gmail.com or 541-343-3080
