Clean Lakes Alliance Volunteer Day

Register for an invasive species removal and litter clean-up event to help our lakes! We'll be at Cherokee Marsh Conservation Park, South Unit on Thursday, August 15, 8:45–11:00 AM. We'll be working with the City of Madison Parks staff to remove invasive species and trash along Highway 113. Wear close-toed shoes and long layers to best protect yourself from bugs, scratches, and sun. Bring a water bottle, sun protection, and anything needed to keep yourself comfortable working outdoors for two hours.

Removing litter and invasive species allows our native species to thrive and do what they do best—capture and filter runoff before it can enter our lakes. Our native species are well adapted to mitigate flooding, provide valuable habitat for pollinators and wildlife, and stabilize soil to prevent erosion. The more native plants we have surrounding our shores, the healthier our lakes will be!
