Volunteers are needed this week for a clean up effort at Clinton Lake.

Department of Natural Resources Conservation Police are leading the effort of cleaning up parts of Clinton Lake this week. According to CPO John Williamson, portions of the Clinton Lake are in a great deal of need for cleaning up.

While trash receptacles are not always immediately available at Clinton Lake, Williamson encourages those fishing or hiking or boating to carry anything you came with back out with you. He says it's a simple way to keep the area clean.

Those interested in volunteering are asked to contact the Weldon Springs State Park Office, which is where the DNR office for DeWitt County is located. You can contact them at 935-6757.

Again the cleanup is Wednesday from 9 am to 1 pm and lunch will be provided for all volunteers.
