Lake Wateree Shoreline Stablization
Mo Drinkard • March 1, 2024
Live staking with volunteers to improve Lake Wateree!
We had a successful first ever live-staking event on Saturday, February 24th! Over 35 volunteers showed up along with the super State Park employees.
This project is helping to stabilize the shoreline on Lake Wateree to prevent future erosion and pollution from sedimentation in the lake. In addition to the 300 tree stakes we planted, we were also able to provide some stakes and seeds for residents to take home.
Because of the awesome volunteer turnout, we were also were able to remove 50 tires and about 1,500 pounds of trash from the area!
Thanks to all who helped, and if you weren't able to come for that event, we have two more scheduled on March 9 and March 16.
