NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Sept. 15, 2017) — The staff at Dale Hollow Lake is enlisting the support of volunteers for the annual National Public Lands Day Shoreline Cleanup 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, Sept. 30.
Volunteers are needed to help remove litter off of the lake’s 620 miles of shoreline and 25,000 acres of water. Check-in stations for volunteers are located at Pleasant Grove Recreation Area and Lillydale Recreation Area on Dale Hollow Lake. Free trash bags and gloves will be provided at each location. There is no need to pre-register.
The Corps of Engineers has been involved with National Public Lands Day since its inception in 1994 and has consistently been one of the event’s largest providers of sites and volunteers.

With nearly 90 percent of these projects located within 50 miles of metropolitan areas, the Corps sites provide a wide range of safe, affordable outdoor recreation opportunities close to home.
