The Clear Lake Earth Day Committee is a broad-based community committee with members of diverse interests, but a common goal of enhancing our local environment.

The Committee's goals are to: create an environmental stewardship awareness among Clear Lake residents; provide short-term and long-term opportunities for citizens to participate in stewardship including the community cleanup or "adopting" storm drains around the lake; work with other organizations to protect and enhance lake water quality.

The Clear Lake Earth Day Committee is comprised of volunteers and representatives from a broad base of organizations including the Chamber, the City of Clear Lake, the Cerro Gordo County Landfill, the state Department of Natural Resources, the schools, businesses, the CLEAR project, the Association for the Preservation of Clear Lake, Ventura, Central Gardens and others.

Clear Lake's week of activities was featured statewide as part of the Iowa Natural Heritage's year-long 25th anniversary events in 2004.

It is a committee of the Clear Lake Area Chamber of Commerce. The contact is Trish Pletcher at 1-641-357-2159.
