Youth, adults, and families are invited to join us for a fun day of community engagement and service as we work together to make Lake Mendocino a cleaner, greener place! Our goal is to help keep Lake Mendocino free of tobacco product waste, including cigarette butts and other tobacco and vaping waste, while beautifying and protecting our natural environment.

Beyond the cleanup, this event will help bring greater attention to the environmental harms of tobacco product waste and help us better understand the scope of the problem in our community. During the event, we will collect baseline data on tobacco product waste found at Lake Mendocino, including the amount, types, brands, and number of tobacco products and related waste items collected. This information will help document the extent of tobacco product waste and establish a baseline for measuring changes over time following implementation of the Eliminate Tobacco Products to Address Tobacco Waste policy.

Clean Soil. Clean Waterways. Healthy Communities. Come spend the day outdoors, connect with your community, and make a positive impact on one of our local natural spaces. Every piece of tobacco waste we remove helps create a cleaner environment for people, wildlife, and future generations.

Meeting location: Pomo A, located at the North end of Lake Mendocino.

Bring your family, bring a friend, and help us make a difference—one piece of litter at a time!
