Do you want to make a difference in keeping Lake Winnipesaukee beautiful and healthy? Join us for the 2024 Lake Winnipesaukee Cleanup on Saturday, October 12, 2024!

Each year, tons of litter find their way into our water bodies, harming wildlife and affecting water quality. This is your chance to give back to the lake that offers so much to our community. In 2023, volunteers managed to remove a staggering amount of trash, including large items like old tires and even a toilet from a beach! With your help, we can do even more this year. This cleanup is not just about picking up trash – it’s about preserving the natural beauty of Lake Winnipesaukee and ensuring it remains a clean and enjoyable place for generations to come. By volunteering, you’re making a direct impact on the health of the lake.

Event Schedule
9:00 am: Meet your Team Lead at your chosen location to sign in, fill out the waiver, and pick up your supply bag and t-shirt. We'll provide you with water, snacks, trash bags, and gloves to help you get started.

9:15 am to 11:30 am: Volunteers will spread out across designated public access sites to collect trash. In addition to these locations, participants are also encouraged to clean up any other areas around the lake where they have access. Drop points for full trash bags will be announced closer to the event.

12:00 pm to 2:00 pm: After the hard work is done, join us at Ames Farm Inn (2800 Lake Shore Road, Gilford) for an after-party! Enjoy free food, meet some new people, maybe win one of the great raffle prizes.
Volunteers of all ages are encouraged to participate. Whether you’re a local resident, a frequent visitor, or simply someone who cares about our lake, your help is crucial to keeping Lake Winnipesaukee clean.
