Lake Travis Parks Cleanup
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.
