3rd Annual Great Plastic Purge of the Lower Susquehanna
On October 15th and 16th, 2022, from 10 AM to 3 PM the Lower Susquehanna Riverkeeper Association and partners, including the Penn State Master Watershed Stewards of York, Lancaster, Lebanon, and Dauphin Counties, Watershed Alliance of York, Lancaster Conservancy, and Susquehanna National Heritage Area will host THE 3RD ANNUAL GREAT PLASTIC PURGE OF THE LOWER SUSQUEHANNA.
This large-scale cleanup will occur around Lake Clarke on the Susquehanna River and further north. Lake Clarke is a 10-mile reservoir or “Lake” formed by the hydroelectric Safe Harbor Dam. Plastics, tires, litter, and other debris continue to get flushed into the Susquehanna River, so we will do our part to clean up and help protect our downstream neighbors, aquatic and avian species. There are three registration locations on Lake Clarke and another site north of Lake Clarke at Falmouth Boat Launch. Please choose a registration location site that is suitable for you.
THIS IS A FREE EVENT. PRE-REGISTRATION IS PREFERRED.
