On Saturday, May 25, 2024, professional angler Carl Jocumsen led a successful lake cleanup at Lake Chickamauga, hosted at the Soddy Daisy Park Bird Sanctuary. This impactful event, supported by Hobie® Eyewear, brought together community members and environmental enthusiasts dedicated to preserving the beauty and health of our beloved waterways.
A Day Dedicated to Clean Waterways
The cleanup event, held from 9 AM to Noon, saw a remarkable turnout of volunteers who shared a common goal: to remove litter and debris from Lake Chickamauga and its surrounding areas. Participants worked tirelessly to collect trash, ensuring the lake remains a pristine habitat for wildlife and a treasured outdoor playground for all.
Carl Jocumsen, a passionate advocate for environmental conservation through his organization, Fear My Heart, was at the forefront of this initiative. “The Fear My Heart Lake Chickamauga Cleanup was a massive success! We had just over 70 people show up through the rain and the storms to clean up the lake and we made a big difference. We’re estimating that we pulled ten to fifteen thousand pounds of trash from the lake,” said Jocumsen. “It was inspiring to see so many passionate people work together. We can’t thank Hobie Eyewear and all our sponsors enough for supporting the day and making it as fun as possible. The kids absolutely loved the duck hunt while helping clean up the bank. It was a massive win for everyone involved!”
