Community invited to join in March 25 beach cleanup at Lake Chelan

The public is invited to join in the “Restore the Shore” effort on March 25, when volunteers will gather for a communitywide beach cleanup at Lake Chelan.

Restore the Shore, which organizers are hoping to make an annual event, is 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, March 25. Volunteers are asked to meet at the city’s marina parking lot (near the go-carts and across from Chelan Market). Volunteers will be organized into groups to cover specific sections of the beach.

Volunteers are asked to bring their own reusable bag to use when picking up litter. They also should bring their own gloves and trash grippers or pickers and dress for the weather. Volunteers are asked to RSVP for planning purposes.

Participants will be asked to not only pick up all trash they find but also any fragments of aquatic weeds in their sections. When the lake’s water level rises this spring, fragments of milfoil can propagate into new plants. Removing the fragments now will help prevent new milfoil growth, which in turn impacts the amount of organic carbon in the near-shore environment.

Restore the Shore is organized by the Keep It Blue Lake Chelan campaign, the Lake Chelan Research Institute and The Chelan Project of Chelan High School. Joining in the efforts are Campbell’s Resort, the city of Chelan and the Planning Association of Washington and Pilgrim Lake Services.
