Volunteers are needed to help clean up after the City of Lincoln's annual Uncle Sam Jam Independence Day celebration at Oak Lake Park, North First and Charleston streets. The cleanup event will be from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday, July 5.

"The Oak Lake Cleanup is an opportunity for the Lincoln community to join together to keep our parks beautiful," said Erin Kubicek, Environmental Health Educator. "Volunteers play an important role in our work to combat litter, pollution, and protect the environment and aquatic life."

Volunteers will meet at the park shelter just northwest of the playground. Free lunch and kayaking will be provided to volunteers. The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission will provide kayaks and outdoor educators will be onsite to provide instruction and assistance with kayaks. Kayakers must be age 10 and older
