# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Kayak Clean Up & Invasive Species Awareness at Prairie Queen
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 31 May, 2026 at 10:00 am – Sun, 31 May, 2026 at 12:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Our Nebraska wildlife thrive in clean and healthy spaces, and people do too! Join Nebraska Game and Parks outdoor educators, Invasive Species staff and members of the Greater Omaha Scuba club for a fun, late-morning aquatic habitat clean up at Prairie Queen Recreation Area on Sunday morning, May 31.

In addition to removing litter and improving the lake’s appearance, this event will help raise awareness about aquatic invasive species found in the waterbody, and throughout Nebraska. These invasive species negatively impact recreation, Nebraska’s economy, and native aquatic life by outcompeting native species and disrupting the lake’s ecosystem. Events like this encourage community involvement while promoting stewardship and prevention efforts to help protect Nebraska’s water resources. 

Safety and basic instruction will be given at the beginning of the event. You will be emailed prior to the event to confirm your registration and any needed details. We will provide trash bags & gloves for all those interested in helping to clean up trash while on the water. 

 We will meet at the boat ramp and dock just off of the intersection of 132nd Street and Cornhusker Road, on the West side of the lake. This area is in the northernmost section of the lake. On google maps it is identified as Prairie Queen’s Recreation Area. 

This event is free and we welcome you to either borrow a kayak or bring your own! Due to limited kayak supply, we do require registration.
