Mahwah's Annual Lake Henry Clean-Up in Need of Volunteers

Mahwah is organizing its annual cleanup of Lake Henry behind Continental Soldiers Park, and is looking for volunteers.

The clean-up is happening this Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon, rain or shine.

Volunteers meet at the park and set out to clean up the wooded area surrounding the lake of debris that has collected there over the winter.

Typically, the event draws about 50 volunteers from throughout the township who collect truckloads of debris.

After the clean-up, volunteers receive a voucher to a free lunch at the Field of Creams Café at Continental.

Volunteers do not need to sign up in advance, and local kids looking to fill volunteer hour requirements can receive letters from the township for three hours of service if they volunteer at the event.
