Save the Date for the Lake James Annual Clean-Up

Lake James provides recreation and drinking water for all of us. Help keep Lake James clean and beautiful by participating in the Lake James Annual Clean-Up, hosted by The Community of Lake James, Lake James Area Wildlife and Nature Society, and Lake James State Park.

Volunteers are needed to help remove trash & debris from the lake and surrounding roads. Safety vest, grabbers, and gloves will be provided. Please dress warmly and wear boots or appropriate shoes (no sandals!). Volunteers will meet at Lake James State Park (Paddy Creek Area) at 8:30 am for group assignments. Groups will be picking up trash by boats on the shoreline and islands, and walking along N. Powerhouse Rd., Benfield Landing Rd., and Hwy 126.

Area High School students will be participating for class credits. Lunch will be provided at the State Park beginning at 1 pm.

Volunteers should contact Howard Morgan (828-438-7003) or Jerry Fantry (828-639-4046) for more info.
