Rotarians worked together to collect trash along the roadway and nearby areas, helping prevent debris from entering local waterways. In addition to the clean-up, members conducted water testing to better understand and monitor the health of the area’s water sources—an important step in protecting this vital resource for the community.
Projects like this reflect Rotary’s ongoing dedication to preserving the environment and ensuring access to clean water. By combining education, action, and teamwork, Rushmore Rotary continues to make a meaningful impact locally while supporting Rotary’s broader environmental goals.
Their efforts are a great reminder that protecting our water starts at the community level—and that even a few hours of service can create lasting change.
