Boy Scouts Troop 23 will provide a helping hand in the cleanup of litter from the shoreline of Lake Munson and the nearby forest area. This event will also serve as an opportunity to educate and engage volunteers and media partners on the ongoing efforts to protect and preserve the health of Lake Munson, including the drawdown, infrastructure updates, septic-to-sewer upgrades, and more.
Representatives from Leon County Public Works will present educational materials regarding the ongoing Lake Munson Drawdown, the effort toward reducing aquatic trash, and the overall investment in Lake Munson’s health as well as our community’s environment.
Leon County puts continuous effort into the care and preservation of its water bodies and systems. Lake Munson has historically led the County to explore innovative technology and solutions to ensure its health and quality. The shoreline cleanup demonstrates the County's continued commitment to preserving natural resources and protecting Lake Munson's water quality and health.
