We were pleased that everyone was able to participate in their first-choice volunteer activity. With two different cleanup crews, plus two dive groups, our volunteers also had the option to take time off after working, giving them time to explore the stunning scenery at Fallen Leaf Lake. After lunch, both groups reconvened to help unload debris. One of our volunteers even served as captain for the day, driving Clean Up The Lake’s tri-toon boat. Half a dozen volunteers snorkeled near the divers to help spot debris, and half a dozen more hopped into kayaks to help gather debris at the surface. On the first day, half of our volunteers assisted with a trail cleanup near Fallen Leaf Campground, while the rest joined Clean Up The Lake on the water to assist scuba divers in collecting nearly 350 pounds of debris from the bottom of the lake.

Four Wheel Campers donated the camper to Clean Up The Lake in late 2022, and it has helped the nonprofit on cleanups and pilot missions across California and Nevada. Not only did our volunteers collect and sort hundreds of pounds of debris and litter at Fallen Leaf Lake, but we got a tour of Clean Up The Lake’s research truck, which is outfitted with a Project M camper. ![]() Four Wheel Campers’ partnership with Clean Up The Lake began in 2022, and we are pleased to share the details of our latest event with the Lake Tahoe-based 501(c)(3).
