Thank you to our volunteers, site leaders, dive captains, sponsors, and in-kind donors that made our spring Lake Travis Cleanup possible!
Together, in just one day:
- More than 350 shoreline, park and dive volunteers from 31 zip codes contributed a whopping 37,000 dollars worth of volunteer time cleaning up trash from our parks, lake and waterways.
- We removed over 423 bags of trash, countless large pieces of Styrofoam and wood, and lots of micro trash leftover from Easter festivities.
- 10,080 pounds of trash were collected by divers and from Arkansas Bend and Webberville parks (that’s just two parks!).
And thank you to everyone that submitted entries for the 2022 Photo Contest! Most Unusual Object, Dirtiest Volunteer, and Largest Item winners announced below.
We greatly appreciate our sponsors and in-kind donors!
