Clean Jordan Lake seeks volunteers to help with the Jordan Lake “Big Sweep” on Oct. 9 either to donate the use of their boats for the day or to hike through the woods to bag and move trash to boats.
The event will involve the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, N.C. Wildlife Resource Commission, N.C. Division of Forest Resources and Chatham County government. The cleanup will focus on the shoreline downstream of where the Haw River enters the lake.
Last year, more than 200 volunteers filled four large dumpsters with trash removed from Jordan Lake and removed nearly 200 tires.
