Description

Get A CLUE During our Great Watershed Clean-Up Stewards of Our Urban Lakes Inc. (SOUL) is leading Clean Our Urban Environment (CLUE) Day, a watershed cleanup around Crescent Lake in St. Petersburg and we want your help! Restore America’s Estuaries has provided a grant to SOUL to help support the restoration and clean-up of Crescent Lake. Come participate and help us celebrate during Earth Week on Saturday April 24. CLUE Day will enable individuals and groups to make a local impact in their community. The clean-up will reduce the debris load to Crescent Lake and ultimately to Tampa Bay. Your help on CLUE Day will assist us identify sources of debris within the watershed and guide current and future lake clean-up efforts. We will conduct the cleanup by dividing volunteers into small teams assigned to specific watershed areas. We will abide by the social distancing guidelines set out by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention and mandates set out by local government. The CLUE Day cleanup will be held on three days: April 24, May 22 and June 26 2021. This project is part of a larger coordinated regional effort to remove trash from our waters. We continue to see significant volumes of trash entering the Lake which poses risk to wildlife and detracts from the purpose and beauty of Crescent Lake Park. By participating on CLUE Day, you are part of a more sustainable solution to our water quality problems and beautification of the lake. We need at least 30 volunteers on each day, and preferably many more, to achieve good results.
