The Logan Martin Lake Protection Association (LMLPA) is gearing up for its annual lake cleanup, scheduled for March 29 through April 5. This weeklong effort encourages volunteers to help preserve the beauty and health of Logan Martin Lake.

Volunteers can register and pick up cleanup supplies, including T-shirts, collection bags and gloves, at designated collection sites on the days of the event from 8 a.m.-12 p.m..

“Maintaining the beauty and health of Logan Martin Lake isn’t a task for a few, it’s a responsibility we all share,” said LMLPA President Neal Stephenson. “The incredible turnout we see each year proves that when our community comes together, we can make a truly significant impact. Every bag of trash collected, every volunteer hour given, contributes to preserving this vital resource for generations to come.”
