Volunteers are needed for the first Clean Jordan Lake event on May 8 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Clean Jordan Lake is a new nonprofit corporation founded to remove trash and prevent further trash accumulation on the lake’s shore. The cleanup will focus on the shoreline near the B. Everett Jordan Dam. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Highway Stormwater Program of the N.C. Department of Transportation, North Carolina Big Sweep and the Haw River Assembly will assist with the event.
Volunteers will meet at the Jordan Dam Visitor Assistance Center (also known as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Headquarters) at 2080 Jordan Dam Road in Moncure. Bottled water, lunch, gloves and trash bags will be provided.
