Thank you, volunteers!
Our 30th Annual Lake Travis Cleanup on September 15th was a huge success with your help!
Together, in just one day, 595 shoreline, park, and dive volunteers from 31 zip codes contributed a whopping $39,853 worth of volunteer time removing trash and recyclables from Lake Travis and the surrounding parks, creeks, and waterways.
Together, we removed 5,000 pounds of trash and recyclables, plus large pieces of metal, cable/rope, docks, and boats exposed by low water levels. This HUGE success is because of YOU—thank you!
Participants received swag, prizes, and coupons thanks to our generous sponsors. Sponsors and winners of our photo contest posted below!

“A healthy, flowing Texas Colorado River is imperative to the well-being of millions of people throughout the river basin. Big volunteer days like the Lake Travis Cleanup are a great way to remind folks that Lake Travis is part of the river system – we are all connected via the River. I’m so excited to see toddlers and teenagers out here today because I’m hopeful they will grow-up with an appreciation for our Lakes and Rivers and a desire to be a river steward and protector.”

In Memoriam:
Sr. Deputy Jessica L. Hollis
Jessica was swept away while checking a low water crossing in her patrol car on September 18, 2014. She loved the Lake Travis Cleanup and 2014 was her second year participating. We will miss her very much. Jessica is pictured above with Travis County Sherrif’s Office Lake Patrol Dive Captain Jose Escribano.
Finley through the years!
