Community Unites for Lake Cleanup Event in Manchester

Manchester Township is coming together for a significant community event this Saturday—a lake cleanup dedicated to preserving our cherished local waterways. This initiative aims to enhance the beauty of our environment and foster a sense of community responsibility toward nature.

Lakes are vital ecosystems that support a diverse range of wildlife and provide recreational spaces for residents. Unfortunately, they often suffer from pollution due to littering, runoff, and other human activities, which harm aquatic life and disrupt ecosystems.


The upcoming lake cleanup is a testament to what we can achieve when we work together. Volunteers from all walks of life—students, families, local businesses, and environmental groups—are joining forces with a common goal: to restore and protect our local lake.


Event Details:

  • Date: Saturday, April 29, 2023

  • Time: 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM

  • Location: Harry Wright Lake, 1501 Lake Road, Manchester Township

  • What to Bring: Comfortable clothing, gloves, and a reusable water bottle


Event organizers will provide all necessary cleaning supplies, including trash bags and pickers. Refreshment stations will be set up to keep everyone energized throughout the day.

Participating in this event offers numerous benefits:

Event coordinator Jane Smith shared, "We believe that every small action counts. When the community comes together, we can make a significant impact on our environment. This lake is a treasure for Manchester Township, and it's up to us to take care of it."


The lake cleanup is more than just a one-day event; it's a catalyst for ongoing environmental stewardship in Manchester. Plans are already in the works for future initiatives, such as tree planting, recycling programs, and educational workshops.
