Our youngest stewards of the Land
This October Wanderlust Tour’s staff and local volunteers headed out to both the mountains and high desert to clean up our lakes, caves and popular trailheads. The summer months see a great amount of use and this area needs some TLC after the season.
Take a look below of a recap of both the Cascade Lakes Clean Up & Cave Clean Up events.
We always appreciate the help in keeping these places clean. Stay tuned for more volunteer opportunities:
CASCADE LAKES CLEAN UP
With low water levels in the fall, it helps spotting trash and accidentally left behind items. This year we visited Sparks, Hosmer, Devil’s and Elk Lakes plus Wanoga Sno-Park sledding hill .
200 Volunteer Hours
65+ Volunteers coordinated
300 LBS+ of Trash Removed
We met up at Cascade Lakes Brewery where Wanderlust provided quick instruction on the day’s plan. From here, volunteers broke up into small groups to tackle high traffic areas.
Special thanks to all the amazing volunteers who braved the weather, to Cascade Lakes Brewery and Knott Landfill!
