Volunteers with the Norris Lake Project Team will be out in force on Norris Lake this weekend [March 22-23] for the annual spring cleanup. The work, which will include parts of the lake in Anderson, Campbell, Claiborne, Union, and Grainger counties, will take place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, and from 2 to 5:30 p.m. Sunday. “This event aims to preserve the natural beauty and conserve the resources of the Norris Lake Watershed area,” the group said. More volunteers are needed, organizers said. Work will be based at three locations on Saturday: Anderson County Park, Flat Hollow Marina and Hickory Star Marina. Sunday, the work will be based at Beach Island Marina. Boats will be available to take volunteers to and from designated cleanup areas that are inaccessible by land. Barges will be used to bring collected trash back to shore. Volunteers with boats are encouraged to bring them to assist in the efforts, the group said. All volunteers are expected to wear suitable footwear, preferably boots, and they are encouraged to bring gloves and life jackets, especially for youth participants. Minors are welcome, but must be accompanied by an adult, and are required to have a registration and release form signed by a parent. To register as a volunteer, visit the website norrislakeproject.com/upcoming-cleanups/. Registration can also be completed on-site on the days of the cleanups.
