Attendees had been cautioned to be aware of poisonous algae blooms and zebra mussels throughout their volunteer shift. They had been additionally requested to have the ability to establish poison ivy, oak and sumac, which was deemed “essential for a safe cleanup.”
It’s not the primary time the 2 organizations have collaborated on cleanup initiatives. Back in July, a group of volunteers helped acquire waste from Lady Bird Lake following the Fourth of July vacation.
