On Saturday May 8th, The Dalles Young Professionals Network is hosting a
“Save Taylor Lake” Clean Up Project
On Saturday May 8th, The Dalles Young Professionals are hosting a “Save Taylor Lake” clean up project starting at 8am-2pm. This project is sponsored by both C.I.T.O/Geocaching and the Oregon SOLV Organization. Kase Construction and Wasco County Conservation District are local sponsors that will provide equipment to haul the trash out. Wasco County Landfill is also a sponsor who donated a place for the trash to go. Everyone is ganging together for Taylor Lake, a family friendly natural gathering area which can be used for fishing, hiking, biking, or for a simple family picnic.
Taylor Lake has been a place that father’s have taken their sons for generations to go fishing or where families have gone to hike around and enjoy the beauty of the wildlife. Recently in the past 10 years or so this location has been forgotten and is slowly becoming a dumping ground for both trash and drug paraphernalia. Please join the Young Professionals in this clean up and great attempt to preserve a part our history and heritage. This lake is worth saving and is also a great link to both the riverfront trail and the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center. Please call Stephanie at 541-296-2231 today and put your name on a list as a volunteer for May 8th. Please bring some sunscreen, some friends, and a great attitude! Call today to volunteer.
