Volunteers are encouraged to participate in this year's Reuben Thornton memorial cleanup.

Every year there is litter in and around Lake Martin. Luckily each year the efforts to rid the lake of this type of trash seems to get bigger and bigger.

Nearly 250 volunteers showed up and showed out for this year’s Renew Our Rivers cleanup, which was hosted by Lake Martin Resource Association on Friday and Saturday.
