The Friends of Arcadia Lake Equestrian Trails joined in on the annual Arcadia Lake Sweep Day on Saturday, Aug. 7. The Friends group, along with other volunteers, picked up about 50 bags of trash.

"We are so thankful for everyone in helping get the horse trails cleared and restoring the natural habitat for wildlife at the lake," said Terri Folks, co-chair of the Friends Group. "We would also like to commend the Arcadia Lake staff who have been working hard to re-open the trails for equestrians. There is still a lot to do but we have all certainly made a dent in the trash."

The area has also received help by Tinker Air Force Base volunteers coming on a regular basis, already filling a dumpster full of trash. The trash and debris washed up on the shores of the lake after the June 14 flood. As the water receded, the trails area was covered with litter and wood debris.

Please join us in the Fall for our next work day! Contact Gill Barnett if you would like to join the work crew painthorses@cox.net.
