On April 3, 2021, Shine City Project returned for a service project at Lake Mead in Nevada. With their 5 volunteers this time they had the opportunity to ride a boat to reach their clean up destination! The volunteers made their way to the Las Vegas Boat Harbor at Lake Mead where they met Liz and Bob, a married couple of 41 years who are staff members for the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. This extraordinary couple were the guides for the clean up project for the day. The volunteer group was tasked with cleaning up litter from Hideaway Cove. In order to access the cove they traveled about 45 minutes by boat.
Reaching the shore near their destination, everyone was equipped with cleaning tools then continued their journey afoot. Walking along the shore, an assortment of bottles, cans and a variety of balls were collected. The largest item retrieved was the frame of a leftover pop-up tent! After the clean up everything collected was then loaded onto the boat.
On the way back to the marina they had a quick break at the floating restroom, and got to visit the Hoover Dam! Click HERE to see the project photos.
