Come Clean Lake Livingston

Come Clean Lake Livingston is around the corner.  This year the event will be held May 17, 2014.  It will begin on the shoreline of the Lake and end at Lake Livingston State Park.  This event has two goals: one to clean up Lake Livingston and its surrounding lake front area, and the second goal is to bring awareness to the surrounding communities about the importance of keeping Lake Livingston clean.
The main event starts that morning with a lake wide clean up.  As teams of volunteers clean up designated areas of the lake other volunteers will be on the lake cleaning problem areas by boats and barges.  The effort of these volunteers help make Lake Livingston a welcome place for visitors and those who live here year round. 
The main entities sponsoring this event are Trinity River Authority, Lake Livingston State Park and the Livingston-Polk County Chamber of Commerce.  With sponsorships and the help of the Polk County Master Naturalists, Come Clean Lake Livingston is helping to boost our eco-tourism here in Polk County.  It allows people to see the many outdoor activities Lake Livingston has to offer - birding, kayaking, fishing, etc. 
Come Clean Lake Livingston involves the counties surrounding the lake including Polk, San Jacinto, and Trinity.  All community members, school districts, churches, youth organizations, businesses, and other organizations are invited to participate.  To volunteer, call the Livingston-Polk County Chamber @ 327-4929.  Or if you would like to make a contribution for this event you may also contact the Chamber for more information. 
This is a wonderful event that helps to bring awareness to the beauty of Lake Livingston.  Come out and support this great cause.
