The Annual Beaver Lake Volunteer Day is scheduled for
Saturday, October 7, 2023
What:
Help us pick up litter around Beaver Lake. Then go to Prairie Creek Park to talk with the organizations working to help protect Beaver Lake. You will get to see results from the annual Secchi Day that was done in August, where over 50 volunteer citizen scientists went out on the lake to collect water samples and secchi depth readings that can tell us about the water quality of Beaver Lake. REGISTER NOW!
