Event Description – Earth Day Litter Pick-Up and Park Beautification Project. Volunteers can choose to pick up litter at beautiful Lake Pleasant along the shoreline, day-use areas, and campgrounds or assist with weeding efforts at the 4 Lane Boat Ramp. Volunteers will be working in the elements and walking on uneven and rocky surfaces- a volunteer must be able to walk on these surfaces and tolerate working outdoors. Volunteers who are picking up litter may drive to whatever area they would like at North or Main Entry to pick up trash. Volunteers must drive carefully and not over-exert themselves.
