On Saturday, Apr. 20, from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. the Cameron Parish Beachfront Development District #1 in Johnson Bayou, will host the “Keep Cameron Parish Beautiful” Beach Cleanup as part of Love the Boot Week, Louisiana’s largest litter cleanup effort held in conjunction with Earth Week, Apr. 20-28. Love the Boot Week is organized by Keep Louisiana Beautiful and supported by the Office of the Lieutenant Governor.
Local organizers are hoping to surpass last year’s Earth Day Beach Cleanup attendance of 217 volunteers, and are looking forward to the many volunteers who will come together to show their love for Cameron’s Sportsman’s Paradise and bring awareness to the issue of littering and take steps toward achieving a more beautiful Louisiana.
Volunteers can register for “Keep Cameron Parish Beautiful” Beach Cleanup event at www.lovetheboot.org. Questions about this specific event should be directed to the event organizer, Michele Long, Cameron Parish Beachfront Development District #1 at mlong0813@yahoo.com or 409-893-2154.
Following the conclusion of Love the Boot Week, Keep Louisiana Beautiful will release an outcomes report summarizing the collective impact of the registered cleanup and beautification events. This report will include the total number of events, volunteers, bags of trash collected, pounds of trash collected, and other relevant statistics.
