Volunteers Sought  for Salt Point Cleanup
~Lansing

Saturday, Sept. 16, 9-11  a.m. volunteers are needed to remove trash from the 
shore of Cayuga Lake at Salt  Point, Lansing. Located on the north side of 
Salmon Creek, Salt Point is  property of NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation 
that relies volunteers for  an annual clean up organized by the Cayuga Lake 
Watershed Network and the Town  of Lansing.  Volunteers should meet in the 
parking lot behind the DEC sign.  Work gloves and trash bags will be provided. The 
clean up is part of a  nationwide, annual effort to collect data on shoreline 
litter as an important  step in reducing its occurrence. For example, the 
data has been used to support  legislation requiring deposits on cans and 
bottles.  People interesting in  participating should contact Sharon Anderson, 
Watershed Steward with the Cayuga  Lake Watershed Network at 607-280-5580 or  
steward at cayugalake.org.
