Did you know that you could make an impact on keeping Lake Martin litter free? Lake Martin Resource Association (LMRA) has launched the Treasured Mile Program to promote a litter-free lake environment.

Individuals and groups can adopt a section of Lake Martin’s shoreline or an Alabama Power Company island for regular litter patrol and cleanup. Volunteers who adopt a portion of the shoreline or an island will help to maintain the beauty of the lake for a two year period.

Helping sponsor the Treasured Mile Program is Alabama Power Company and Russell Lands. “The Treasured Mile Program is a great opportunity for those who love and appreciate Lake Martin to make meaningful contributions toward the scenic and environmental preservation of the lake for current and future generations,” said Rhett Hanks, Lake Manager for Alabama Power Company.

More information can be found on the  LMRA website including application forms and a map showing you the latest areas that have been adopted and which areas still need adopting. This is your opportunity to help make a cleaner, healthier Lake Martin. Get involved and give back! Let’s keep Lake Martin beautiful.
