LCRT KEEPS LAKE COUNTY CLEAN
Do you love the outdoors and enjoy walking? March 13th was the first day LCRT members helped pick up litter on Highway 29. Now you also have the opportunity to help "keep Lake County clean" and publicize LCRT. Two miles on Highway 29 south of Lower Lake has been adopted for cleanup by LCRT. If you are interested and supportive of this program, members will be needed once a month. Contact Ginger Ingersoll to help.
