The N.C. Cooperative Extension-McDowell County Center "Keep McDowell Beautiful" program will be coordinating the annual Lake James clean-up on Saturday, November 16, 2024, from 8 a.m. to noon. We would like to invite everyone to remove litter from Lake James and its shoreline. We will distribute supplies ahead of time so you can launch from your home dock, and bring us the trash.
During the 2023 Lake James clean-up event, volunteers from the Lake James Environmental Association, Marion Moose Lodge #1705, NC Wildlife Federation, residents of the Arbor on Lake James, and many others showed their commitment to beautifying their community by removing trash. For the fall clean-up, we will be partnering with the Catawba Riverkeeper's Catawba Riversweep. Volunteers with boats, canoes, paddling kayaks, and on foot will be needed to help. Online Registration is required.
If you have questions or to pick up supplies early please contact Matt Burneisen, N.C. Cooperative Extension-McDowell County Center, Keep McDowell Beautiful – Matt_Burneisen@ncsu.edu or (828) 652-8104.
