Advisory committee backs 'Love Our Waterways Month' cleanup at Bonnet Carre Spillway
Summary
The committee unanimously approved a resolution supporting Keep Louisiana Beautiful's Love Our Waterways Month and a volunteer cleanup at the Bonnet Carre Spillway on 09/26/2026; organizers expect a 9 a.m. start and three-hour event with sign-up through Keep Louisiana Beautiful.
The Coastal Zone Advisory Committee voted to approve a parish resolution supporting Keep Louisiana Beautiful's 'Love Our Waterways Month' and encouraging residents to participate in a cleanup event set for Sept. 26, 2026 at the Bonnet Carre Spillway. Chair read the resolution aloud and the motion to approve passed with all present: 5 yays, 0 nays, and 2 absent.
Manager Laday said the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will take additional volunteers that morning, sign-up is available through Keep Louisiana Beautiful, and the plan is to begin about 9 a.m. and end around noon. "The site will direct you to just email me for sign up because they we keep track of it, not them," Laday said, adding supplies such as gloves, bags and shirts would be available for volunteers. The committee agreed to sign the resolution at a later date and encouraged member participation.
