LITTER PREVENTION PROGRAM

Project Goals

DONNER LAKE: LITTER PREVENTION PROGRAM

Our team has dedicated several years to improving the environment in and around Donner Lake. So far, we have completed: Phase 1: Pilot Research, Phase 2: Circumnavigated Clean up, Phase 3: Data analysis & Program Development, and Phase 4: Monitoring.

We are now onto Phase 5, where we will develop litter prevention programs that engage and empower visitors and locals alike. This includes the development of a sculpture constructed of litter removed from the lake to promote stewardship and awareness. We will also create public service announcements to educate the public, work towards signage campaigns, and research other mitigation strategies.
