Lake Wateree Shoreline Stablization

Mar 01, 2024

Live staking with volunteers to improve Lake Wateree!

We had a successful first ever live-staking event on Saturday, February 24th! Over 35 volunteers showed up along with the super State Park employees.


This project is helping to stabilize the shoreline on Lake Wateree to prevent future erosion and pollution from sedimentation in the lake. In addition to the 300 tree stakes we planted, we were also able to provide some stakes and seeds for residents to take home.


Because of the awesome volunteer turnout, we were also were able to remove 50 tires and about 1,500 pounds of trash from the area!


Thanks to all who helped, and if you weren't able to come for that event, we have two more scheduled on March 9 and March 16.

Happy Earth Month! While every month is Earth Month here at Catawba Riverkeeper, we’re excited about the extra attention and enthusiasm for protecting our local environment that comes every April! Throughout this month, we're amplifying our efforts to spread awareness and provide a variety of options for you to get out and learn from, engage in, or advocate for the preservation, protection, and restoration of our shared waterways. Because of that, our calendar is jam-packed with public and private cleanups, guided tours, education programing, outreach events, and fun activities at Confluence & The River Room all month long. Just take a look at some of the events we have going on! In honor of Earth Month, we hope that you engage with us in some of these events by volunteering your time to clean up our water, learning more about issues affecting our water, and sharing our work and mission with other people as ambassadors. If you'd like to make an Earth Month contribution to Catawba Riverkeeper, you can give to our Spring Education Appeal, help us purchase a new Catawba Riverkeeper vehicle, or attend our Ambassador Training and represent us at events throughout the year. Our work is not possible without the support of people like you. We are only a drop in the bucket of worldwide water conservation efforts, but with the support of people like you, we can make mighty waves of change! Thank you in advance for your support, and happy Earth Month!
