Keep Lake Murray Litter Free!

Please Help Keep Lake Murray Clean

Yesterday, I rode my jet ski out to Bear Island to do a cleanup on my "adopted" island.  Unfortuntely, I did find a good bit of litter around two campsites.  It's certainly depressing to see that some folks choose to litter such beautiful sites.  The camping on Lake Murray's islands is even free!   Thank you to those that help keep Lake Murray's waterways and islands clean.

My adopted island:  Bear Island

If you want to help against the fight against litter in the Midlands, join the KEEP THE MIDLANDS BEAUTIFUL organization (like I have done).   It's only $25 per year.

Please Keep Lake Murray Litter Free!

I have adopted an island on Lake Murray - Bear Island to work to keep it litter free.   I adopted the island as part of  the Keep the Midlands Beautiful Adopt-A-Waterway program.

My agreement means that I am responsible for visiting the island twice a year for two years to conduct a litter cleanup and then report my results.

I had my last cleanup in August 2014 (my wife, Barbara, provided assistance).  Unfortunately, I found a good bit of litter.  Most was found around several campsites on the island.   SCE&G, the owner of Lake Murray, allows camping (for FREE) on most islands in the lake.  With this free use of campsites, it is discouraging to find so much litter left behind by inconsiderate users of these beautiful islands on Lake Murray.

Always on your boat or on an island, please pack your own litter and if you see someone else's litter, please pick that up too.  Thank you.
