Renegade Bassers Lake Clean Up 4/7/12

As many of you know, I'm a member of the Renegade Bassers.  Last Saturday, we held a lake clean up project at Maple Lake.  I'd like to say thanks to everyone that helped out, as we had a great turnout.  Here are some details from that day.

Renegade Bassers Maple Lake Clean Up

As part of the Renegade Bassers commitment to improving our environment, we have joined with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and their “Adopt A River” program.  As part of this program, on Saturday, April 7^th the Renegade Bassers held a lake access clean up on Maple Lake in Wright County.  There were 14 people from the Renegade Bassers and our families that attended the clean up.  We broke into two teams to tackle the clean up at both accesses on the lake. Between the Lion’s Park access and the east (north) access, in just a few hours, the club was able to collect a copier machine, a patio chair, 6 tires, 14 bags of garbage and a small pile of lumber.  The total amount was estimated to be over 400 pounds of garbage and debris that were polluting the water and lands around the accesses.  To continue with our commitment to the environment, the Renegade Bassers will be doing smaller clean ups at each of our club tournaments throughout the year
