The Great
Lakes are on of the world's largest surface freshwater ecosystem, containing 84% of North America's surface fresh water and about 21% of the world's supply of surface fresh water. The Great Lakes Watershed cleanup is an event put forth by Rotary districts surrounding the Great Lakes, in Canada and the United States, that have created an initiative to clean our Great Lakes watershed in conjunction with Earth Day. This initiative is in Rotary’s new area of focus, “Support Our Environment.” All Rotary districts on any of the five Great Lakes will be participating on April 24, 2021; This is the first Saturday following 2021 Earth Day.
Our Rotary Club of Superior participated in cleanup on Wisconsin Point, along with the Friends of the Lake Superior Reserve (FOLSR), who have adopted Wisconsin Point. We Initially gathered at Lot 1 for sign in, and then deployed to Lots 3 through 5, including the inlet area. We collectively organized our cleanup efforts by engaging other Rotary groups as well: Superior High School Interact Club, Duluth Superior Rotaract Club and the Duluth Superior Eco Rotary Club. There were numerous friends and family as well. We had at least 26 in the Rotary group and about that many non-Rotarians with the FOLSR group. Collectively we picked up 528 pounds of trash!! Definitely making an impact for this new Rotary initiative.
Superior Rotarians Dan Blank, Joe Radtke, Marquise Slay and Kelly Peterson got jabbed leading the way for COVID-19 relief.
