IMPORTANT NOTE

After 23 years, Keep Austin Beautiful (KAB), Travis County, and the LCRA are consolidating resources, due to the downturn in the economy.  This situation has caused the Lake Travis Parks Cleanup along with the Lake Travis Underwater Cleanup to be combined into ONE Lake Travis Shoreline/Underwater Cleanup.  The Lake Travis Cleanup will take place on September 13, 2009. All volunteers are encouraged to participate. CLICK HERE for more information on the Lake Travis Underwater Cleanup.

WHAT IS THE LAKE TRAVIS PARKS CLEANUP?

The Lake Travis Parks Cleanup is an annual cleanup event that invites several hundred volunteers to help round-up trash from 9 Travis County Parks surrounding Lake Travis. The cleanup is followed by a volunteer thank-you party & is a great event for ALL ages!
