Public Reminded To Clean Up Along Missouri River After 4th Of July Fun

PIERRE — The annual Missouri River/Lake Share clean-up is returning to the Mighty Mo this year after Covid-19 caused the litter pick-up event to be paused. Paul Lepisto with the Izaak Walton League of Pierre is hoping the volunteer effort can get a jump-start this weekend…

Lepisto says don’t be afraid to pick-up anything that is out of place, even if it’s not yours…

Since 2009 the Missouri River/Lake Sharpe Clean-up effort has recovered 21 tons of debris from the river system. The event is Wednesday July 7th from five to eight PM at Downs Marina in Pierre.
