Come on out on Sunday, March 26, 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 will be meeting at the posted coordinates at 1:00PM on 3/26/2023 (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. Bug spray, too. We will be spending approximately 2-3 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.
