Storm Sweep was a Success! Thanks to You!

THANK YOU to everyone that joined us for our recent Storm Sweep! Storm Sweep was a month-long event designated to clean up the Lake Pontchartrain Basin this May and to promote education about storm preparedness. Our community really stepped up this month to get prepared. Look at what we accomplished during Storm Sweep:

    • 18 cleanups hosted
    • 61 storm drains cleared out
    • 250+ volunteers participated
    • 1,600 views on the cleanup locations map
    • 5,000+ pounds of trash removed
