A homestead that washed up on the north end of Kootenay Lake after last year’s spring flooding has been cleaned up by three local environmental groups.
The Kootenay Conservation Program, The Friends of Lardeau river and the Friends of Kootenay Lake co-ordinated the clean up effort Sunday in Argenta.
Program Manager Claire de la Salle says residents around the lake had already picked up some litter but not everything could be removed.
De la Salle says they rely on the public to identify problem areas they can focus on around the lake.
