COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (KMTV) — Sunday volunteers made their way to Lake Manawa to help spruce the park up.
Around a dozen volunteers showed up for the Lake Manawa Clean-up Day.
The park hosts over 3 million visitors a year and unfortunately, those visitors bring trash and litter that needs to be cleaned up.
“I live here so it means a lot. We pick up trash year-round,” said Joni Elliff, a volunteer. “I kayak around the lake and clean the trash up; we have saved a lot of wildlife from the trash.”
The event was organized by The Friends of Lake Manawa. A group working to preserve and continuously improve Manawa State Park.
