🗑🌎 We want to give a huge thank you to all who participated and attended White Lake Area Trash Bash, sponsored by Consumers Energy!
📷If you participated and have any photos, we’d love to include them in our Facebook album that we upload later this week. Please email them to info@whitelake.org.

Pictured here are our AMAZING team captains! We did things a bit differently this year to help this event run even more efficient as it continues to grow. These four helped us make it happen and we are so grateful for their help!
—Greg with The Lewis House Bed & Breakfast: Captain of the captains! Helped us break this event into categories and made it all run smoothly.
—Melissa with Wesco—Oversaw the “Roads” portion of the clean-up mission
—Tamara with White Lake Area Climate Action Council—Oversaw the “Trails” portion of the clean-up mission
—Sara with White Lake Association - West MI—Oversaw the “Shorelines & Waterways” potion of the clean-up mission

Another huge thank you to City of Montague and Jimmy’z Pub for helping to make Weathervane Lane in Montague another drop-off site for trash bashers and Jimmy’z for offering a raffle prize, The Gnarly Heifer for offering a free burger to anyone who got the barrel (and being there for people to order food), and WaterDog Outfitters for offering up free kayak rentals for those who were looking to help clean up the waterways.

Special thanks to Consumers Energy for sponsoring this event, the City of Whitehall DPW for allowing us to use a truck to gather heavier items (and Greg & Debi for gathering it all!), Knight Transfer for donating a refuse container for all the trash, and Walmart Supercenter Whitehall - Holton-Whitehall Rd for donating trash bags and granola bars!

This event wouldn’t be possible without all who volunteered! We can’t wait to share photos later this week.

This iconic tree has posed for more photos than a celebrity on the red carpet. Windswept, weathered, and wonderfully photogenic—if you know, you know.

How many times has this famous beauty made it into your camera roll?

Where White Lake greets Lake Michigan—sunset spills gold over the channel, and the White River Light Station keeps quiet watch. The kind of view that makes you pause… and maybe stay just a little longer.
