Help the Lake Lanier Association Clean Lake Lanier

The Lake Lanier Association says that its mission is to keep Lake Lanier clean and full. They're asking for help to do that on April 28, 2007. They're holding a Shore Sweep at five locations around Lake Lanier as part of the lake's 50th anniversary celebrations.

The event will take place from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m., and volunteers may pick up bags to collect trash from the shoreline at five locations on the lake; Sawnee Campground on Buford Dam Road, Gainesville Marina, Port Royal Marina (formerly Lan Mar Marina), Nix Bridge Park and Lake Lanier Islands. Trash and Styrofoam may be taken to all locations except Lake Lanier Islands where volunteers may enter at no charge through the main gate to collect trash.

In return for a full bag of trash, the volunteers will receive either a free Shore Sweep 2007 T-shirt or, for scouts, a Shore Sweep 2007 patch, and an invitation to the Shore Sweep volunteer appreciation party which will take place after the 19 th Annual Shore Sweep on September 29, 2007.

In 2006, over 1,000 volunteers collected 28 tons of trash from Lake Lanier during the 18th annual Shore Sweep. So please join us to get Lake Lanier ready for its 50th anniversary of recreation!
