Lake Avalon Cleanup Event
Lake Avalon is a popular dispersed camping area north of Carlsbad, NM. Many people have used this site to burn pallets or have left trash behind, and trash has blown in from surrounding areas. Broken glass, nails, cans, and other garbage creates a hazard for recreationists. Because of this, the Bureau of Land Management and City of Carlsbad are facilitating a cleanup event on the Sunday after National Public Lands Day to improve this beautiful recreation area.

The National Environmental Education Foundation's theme for NPLD this year is "Our Home Outdoors". This is a reminder that these lands are not just physical spaces—they are where we come together, feel rooted, and develop a sense of place.  We are grateful for your time and energy towards improving our shared home.

The schedule of the event will include time for volunteers to sign the Volunteer Service Agreement, a safety discussion and event overview, and then we will transition into the cleanup! 

Wear clothing pieces you are comfortable being active in. Water, snacks, and cleanup/protective supplies will be provided. Bring sun protection, any necessary medications (e.g., epinephrine, inhaler), and a water bottle. Note: If you are under the age of 18 years old, a parent/guardian signature is required. Those under 16 years of age must have a parent/guardian present with them at the event.
