The Great Sierra River Cleanup is one of the largest and most successful annual volunteer stewardship events in the Sierra Nevada. Last year, over 4,000 volunteers cleaned up 265 miles of rivers throughout the region. The Mono Lake Committee looks forward to participating again this year, and we need your help! Please join us this Saturday, September 17, at 9:00am at our Information Center & Bookstore. We will carpool to June Beach and spend the morning cleaning trash, cigarette butts, and fishing line from the lakeshore. If it’s more convenient, you can also meet us at the first June Beach parking lot at 9:30am. Please wear long pants and close toed shoes, and bring water. Snacks will be provided. Please contact Office Manager Rose Catron if you’re interested in coming along!
