Post-Chantal Summer Cleanup

WE WILL BE STARTING AT 8:30AM INSTEAD OF 9:00. PLEASE ARRIVE BY 8:15 SO YOU HAVE TIME TO REGISTER AND COLLECT YOUR SUPPLIES.

We'll be working 2 sections of shoreline at the Ebenezer Church area of Jordan Lake State Park.

WHERE TO MEET
We'll gather at the Shelter 1 inside the Ebenezer Church Recreation area. You must tell the attendant at the toll plaza that you're there for the Clean Jordan Lake trash cleanup to avoid paying the admission fee.

Here's a map showing the areas we'll be covering.

PARKING
Parking may be limited if it's a nice day and everyone decides to show up early. Find parking where you can.

ASSIGNMENTS
WALKERS: You will be divided into groups at registration.

BOATERS: Meet Jon Bannerman with the Army Corps of Engineers offshore near the Ebenezer Shelter by the beach by 9:00am . He will distribute radios for communication with cleanup leaders on the ground and among yourselves.
You'll split into 2 groups, patrolling for trash bags along each of the cleanup tracks. Volunteers on the shore will help you load, then you'll unload them at the Ebenezer Boat Ramp.

WHAT OUR VOLUNTEERS HAVE ACCOMPLISHED
Since 2009, more than 980 cleanup events have attracted nearly 12,000 volunteers to our cause. Beauty and wildlife habitats have been restored along 30 miles of the worst impacted shoreline. More than 23,000 bags of trash (roughly 230 tons!) have been removed. Many other objects are too large to fit into trash bags such as basketballs, propane gas tanks, hot water heaters, car parts, pesticide sprayers, gasoline cans, and pails of industrial adhesives. In addition, volunteers have rolled more than 5,400 tires, many still on rims, to boats and off again at boat ramps to stack for later pick up.
