End Earth Week with Rowing Dock and The Trail Conservancy on Friday, April 25th for Rowing Dock’s fourth annual community wide Earth Day lake and land clean up along Lady Bird Lake! Last year, over 1,900 volunteers removed 14,000 pounds of trash from lakes and green spaces. This year, volunteers are expected to pick up trash by boat or on foot by walking the trails at Rowing Dock and Epic SUP, or on foot at Festival Beach. The event is hosted by Rowing Dock, The Trail Conservancy and Epic SUP, and is free to community volunteers, with advance registration required.
To allow all community members to participate, there will be a small donation fee of $15/person required for corporate teams with 10+ individuals. All funds raised from this event will go to the Trail Conservancy, a 501c3 organization.
All volunteers will receive a participant t-shirt and several goodies from local Austin brands. Prizes will be awarded to volunteers that bring back the most trash and the weirdest Austin item. To fuel the cleanup, several local businesses will be on-site to provide refreshments and grub such as Thundercloud Subs, Richard’s Rainwater, Via313, Sno Beach, Easy Tiger, and other Austin staples.
This event is free to the public, with advance registration required. Please visit the event page for a list of FAQs.
