TRAIL CLEANUP DAY
January 24th | 8:00 AM
**Waiver Required: See Below
The Lake Pointe Municipal Utility District is excited to announce our upcoming community-wide trail cleanup day, providing an excellent opportunity for residents to help maintain the beauty and ecological health of our Preserve.
Event Details: Join us on Saturday, January 24th, 2026, at 8:00 AM for the community-wide trail cleanup day. The event will officially end at 11:00 AM, however, residents may choose to stay longer at their own discretion.
Meeting Location: We will meet at the Lake Pointe Clubhouse parking lot located at 11700 Sonoma Drive. Instructions will be given to volunteers at 8:00 AM and volunteers will begin the cleanup shortly thereafter, so please arrive prior to the start time. Volunteers will then be split into 2 groups - one group will enter the Preserve via the Carlsbad pedestrian trailhead and the other will enter the Preserve via the vehicle gate and lower pedestrian trailhead near the lake.
Purpose: This initiative is critical for maintaining the Preserve and fostering greater community stewardship and resident engagement within the District.
Volunteer Information: The required waiver form is on the District website (see link below). Please print, sign, and bring a waiver for each participant to the event. Limited forms will be available onsite if needed.
Age Rules: For safety purposes, all minors under the age of 18 that are volunteering must be accompanied by an adult throughout the event. Adults can sign for minors on the volunteer waiver.
Supplies: The District will provide gloves, trash bags, and litter grabbers on a first come, first serve basis. Please bring your own supplies, if possible, especially work gloves.
The focus is litter removal, but volunteers may clear trail obstructions like fallen limbs or overgrown vegetation using lopping shears or small hand saws at their own risk. Chain saws and powered tools require LPMUD approval, but battery powered blowers are permitted.
Safety Reminders: Please dress appropriately for outdoor work, including wearing suitable clothing and sturdy footwear. We kindly encourage volunteers to stay on established trails as much as possible, but you are welcome to carefully step just off the trail to collect litter that may have drifted nearby—please help us keep the Preserve clean while avoiding the creation of new paths or disturbing natural areas. For everyone’s safety, minors should always use the companion or “buddy system” and must be accompanied by an adult throughout the event.
Emergency Contact: in the event of a life threatening emergency, dial 911. Please note that cell service can be sporadic within the Preserve.
For any questions about the event, please email us at info@lakepointemud.org or call (512) 663-8044.
This event is scheduled as weather permits. We look forward to seeing you there!
Kind regards,
Lake Pointe Municipal Utility District
Sincerely,
