We had an outstanding group of 20 out for this weeks litter patrol. A big group from UW-Sigma Nu- Fraternity & North Seattle Community College-Communications Students. Plus our regular group of volunteers. I have to say that the park feels so much cleaner than a year ago. The fishermen are taking much better care around the edge of the lake too. Green Lake Litter Patrol sponsored by SellsMoreHomes.com is happy to report this news. If we all put in some community service time -we can make a difference in our city & neighborhoods. Jump on in and give us a hand any Sunday. Thanks!

We had an amazing crew of 36 litter patrollers out today at Green Lake Park. They brought incredible energy to our community service project picking up lots of what we call “micro litter”. From hundreds of cigarette butts, pieces of plastic and general litter. They picked up at least 6 bags of litter from along the edge of the lake. Thanks to Seattle University -MBA program & UW Environmental Science Students. Special thanks to Issa & Conner fo helping me organize the crew. Please come out and join any Sunday. Together we are making a difference.

We had a good crew of volunteers today cleaning up litter at Green Lake Park. There was a 5-km race around the park providing lots of activity. The highlight of the day was seeing numerous ducklings around the lake. There were also numerous families fishing. Please come out and join us for a litter patrol this Spring!

A beautiful April day met us for our Green Lake Litter Patrol. The park was alive with runners, walkers and all types of wild life. We had a great crew of hard working volunteer patrollers scour the park for all types of litter. We also met a group of Seattle Parks & Recreation- Volunteer Naturalist teaching park patrons about the wonders of Green Lake. Seattlites are lucky to have Green Lake Park as everyones back yard. Come on out and join us for a litter patrol!

A beautiful Easter Sunday for our Green Lake Litter Patrol. We had a small group of 3 patrollers but we picked up over 20 bags of litter. The park is getting busier as the Spring weather improves. The picture this week is of Conner & Issa with a small baby turtle. It is wonderful to see the turtles sunning themselves on these warm & sunny days. We want to thank Boathouse Coffee for their support of our community service. We also want to thank SellsMoreHomes.com for sponsoring Green Lake Litter Patrol. Please join us next week for my birthday.

It has been a few weeks since our last post for Green Lake Litter. We had a great crew of 11 patrollers out today. It was great to visit with Kathy from Seattle Parks & Recreation & Garet – President of the Friends of Green Lake. So many wonderful people care about this beautiful park. I did see an all time first today- someone threw a box spring in the lake-pretty sad.. Come on out and join us for our Easter Sunday Patrol.
