NCGO @ Jordan Lake Fall 2022 CITO - Sunday, December 11, 2022, 1:00 - 4:00pm
Come on out on Sunday, December 11, and help us give a little back to the community and environment by cleaning up a portion of the Jordan Lake shoreline that NCGO has adopted. We found the "mother lode" of trash in a cove when finishing up in November. It would be great to complete the work in that area. The hike to the area from parking is about 0.7 mile. If enough cachers show up we can separate into two groups with one hiking the distance and the second working on an area closer to parking.
We will be meeting at the posted coordinates at 1:00PM on 12/11/2022 (please be prompt). There will be a group picture before the hike to the branch trailhead down to the cleanup area. The area is gamelands and is undeveloped. Keep this in mind and dress appropriately for a woods hike. Be sure to bring water and snacks for yourself as needed. Hiking boots and long pants are encouraged. We will be spending approximately 2 hours picking up trash.
Clean Jordan Lake will provide trash bags, grabbers and gloves. If you would rather wear your own work gloves, please feel free to bring them but gloves are required.
While we are partnering with Clean Jordan Lake we need to follow their established guidelines:
- Sign a liability waiver form for each participant (this may require parent/guardian signature if participant is a minor). We will have forms at the event. Or you can complete an online waiver in advance at https://www.cleanjordanlake.org/volunteer-waiver
- Obey safety precautions such as wear closed toe shoes, gloves, long pants, long sleeve shirt and hat (these are all to avoid cuts, ticks, chiggers and poison ivy)
- Everyone participating in the event must wear gloves. If you do not bring your own work gloves they will be provided for you.
- Clean Jordan Lake stipulates a minimum age of 11 for all participants.
