SREL Comes Together to Cleanup for their Annual Volunteer Day
The Savannah River Ecology Laboratory (SREL) recently came together for its annual Volunteer Day, a tradition that celebrates environmental stewardship, collaboration, and community spirit. This year’s Eco-Litter Cleanup centered around clearing out old, unusable enclosures near Rainbow Bay, opening up the space to benefit native wildlife in the area. Armed with shovels, gloves, and plenty of determination, lab volunteers worked side by side to remove metal flashing and other materials that no longer served a purpose. It was a tough job, but the momentum never wavered thanks to the collective effort. Events like these reflect SREL’s ongoing commitment to hands-on conservation and habitat restoration. By dedicating time and resources to projects like this, the lab continues to protect critical environments and support the long-term health of wildlife across the Savannah River Site and beyond.
