Clean Jordan Lake is a 501(c)(3) grassroots nonprofit organization dedicated to restoring the natural habitat, beautifying the shoreline and protecting water quality by removal of trash and litter.  Stormwater flows carry large and small trash items from feeder streams into the lake. These deposit on the shoreline of remote coves, for example, along the Haw River Arm of the lake.  Litter generated by shoreline recreational use is another huge problem. Although far less in volume than trash from stormwater, litter is more directly in the public eye and pervasive: clean it up and within a month it reappears! Since its incorporation in July 2009, CJL has recruited about 1,000 volunteers who have removed about 2,000 tires and 4,000 bags (that's 40 tons!) of trash and litter in 14 cleanup events. Details of general public cleanup events are posted on this web site.  Individual groups may schedule their own cleanups or participate in our  new Adopt-A-Shoreline program.  For more information, contact Fran DiGiano.
