Volunteer Opportunity

Join with other lake-loving volunteers on Saturday, November 6th for MountainTrue’s annual Lake Chatuge shoreline cleanup. The event will kick off at 9am at the Towns County Swim Beach Pavilion across from the Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds where volunteers will get their assigned cleanup locations and be given bags, gloves, and safety information. Coffee and grab-n-go breakfast snacks will be available, along with free t-shirts for the first 50 volunteers. After two hours of shoreline cleaning at the assigned site, volunteers will meet back the pavilion at 11:30 for prizes. Three prizes will be given on the day of the cleanup: Most Trash Collected by a Group, Most Creative Trash Photo, and Most Unique Trash Item Found. Enter to win by taking photos and sending them to callie@mountaintrue.org. A fourth gift certificate will be awarded the week after the cleanup: Most Engaging Social Media Post (#ChatugeCleanup).

Join us on Saturday November 20th at 1pm for a volunteer workday to control nonnative invasive plants and restore native habitat along the Murphy River Walk. No prior experience is necessary; we will provide tools and training. Let’s continue to improve the wildlife habitat and natural beauty at the Murphy River Walk!
