Groups Set to Host 55th Annual Greers Ferry Lake and River Cleanup Sept. 7
The annual cleanup event at Greers Ferry Lake and Little Red River is gearing up to celebrate its 55th year. The event, scheduled for September 7, 2024, aims to bring together community volunteers to keep the lake and river shores clean.
The event has a long-standing history, with the Greers Ferry Lake & Little Red River Association sponsoring the cleanup for over 50 years. It is a family-friendly activity that has mobilized many volunteers, including individuals, church groups, school groups, and civic organizations.
During the event, volunteers can register online or at the various check-in stations located at area marinas. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and local organizations will provide cleanup supplies, including trash bags, which can be picked up at designated locations. Registered volunteers will not be charged the day use fee and can also participate in celebratory activities and enjoy a free picnic lunch.
The cleanup has a strong community focus, with local marinas, businesses, and civic organizations lending their support. Throughout the years, volunteers have been instrumental in keeping the lake and river shores clean, enhancing the community’s natural beauty and fostering a sense of environmental responsibility.
