Monroe Lake seeks volunteers for annual shoreline cleanup, Oct. 6
A summer full of fun and recreation at Monroe Lake creates more than memories… it also results in a lot of trash! The lake needs your help to clean up the mess and create a more inviting habitat for both people and wildlife.
Volunteers are needed for Monroe Lake’s annual shoreline cleanup on Sunday, October 6 at 1:30 p.m., where people will be transported by boat from Cutright SRA to different areas of the shoreline.
Advance registration for the cleanup is required by October 4 at bit.ly/monroeshoreline2019, as space on the boats is limited to 80 volunteers. All volunteers must be at least 10 years old; ages 10-17 must be accompanied by a registered adult.
All volunteers will be returned to Cutright SRA by 5:30 p.m., where they can enjoy a “thank you” cookout at the shelter.
This annual shoreline cleanup is coordinated by Monroe County Stormwater Services, Hoosier National Forest, City of Bloomington Utilities Department, Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District, and the Friends of Lake Monroe in partnership with Monroe Lake, an Indiana State Park.
Questions about the cleanup should be directed to Monroe Lake’s Interpretive Naturalist, Jill Vance, at [email protected] or 812-837-9967.
