Coastal Cleanup 2011 at Lake Berryessa

Sat, Sep 17th 2011, 9:00am - 12:00pm
See contacts provided above for locations.

WE NEED VOLUNTEERS to help clean up Lake Berryessa!

Canoeists, scuba divers, kayakers & folks to scour the shoreline are all welcome and needed.

Volunteers are encouraged to clean up Lake Berryessa as part of the 27th Coastal Cleanup Day, a statewide and international effort to clean trash from coasts, bays, creeks, and lakes. The lake provides drinking water for almost a half million people in Solano County including the Budweiser Brewery and the Jelly Belly factory. Last year, nearly 100 volunteers collected 800 pounds of trash and 1800 hundred pounds of recyclables from the lake and shoreline.

TO VOLUNTEER:

Ground crew near Markley Cove - Contact Marianne Butler, Marianne.Butler@Solanorcd.org 707.301.5778

Dive, canoe & kayak crew near Pope Creek Bridge - Contact Robin Metoxen iguanabobsdivecenter@gmail.com 707.252.1219

Details will be provided when you register. Participants are invited to celebrate our 2011 Cleanup accomplishments with a barbeque. We're asking volunteers to help reduce the environmental footprint of Coastal Cleanup Day.

If these BYO's are not possible for you, we'll have supplies for everyone.

Coastal Cleanup Day ONLY works with the support of volunteers like you!
