Lake Cleanup

Lake Cleanup 2007

At 8:00 in the morning, on September 15, 2007, a group of conscientious boaters met at the Lake Hernando Boat Ramp to help clean up the lake and marsh areas.

Citrus County Airboat Alliance had a great turnout of members with 19 Airboats, 1 pontoon boat and over 40 members participating. They were joined by a boat from Too Far and 3 pontoon boats from the Arbor Lakes Property Owners Association.

Pickup continued until noon, when the volunteers returned to the ramp with their “finds”, including such unusual items as a newspaper stand, truck headlight and a metal cabinet.                                                                             

The total trash filled three-fourths of a dump truck and weighed 1,040 lbs. Although there was quite a bit collected, the good news is there was less trash this year than last, so people seem to be getting the message to keep their water clean.

Arbor Lakes provided a terrific picnic lunch for all of the participants.

At 3:00 PM, Armante’s Restaurant (Skeeter's) opened early for the Citrus County Airboat Alliance to hold their monthly meeting out of the heat and sun.

 All in all, it was a full and satisfying day.  Many thanks to all who participated.
