A clean-up and awareness day at the Lago del Fuerte in Tandil brought together 30 lifeguard students and volunteers from the Argentine Red Cross last week.

How the Lago del Fuerte Clean-up in Tandil Was Conducted
The Argentine Red Cross – Tandil Branch organized the activity as part of the environmental module led by Professor Luz Kasperky.
Participants toured the lake’s shores last week.
The students not only collected waste but also sorted it during the tour.
They also conducted a thorough survey of the environment’s condition to document the current situation.
The data obtained will be analyzed and presented to municipal authorities.
This information will contribute to the development of care policies for the public promenade.
During the tour, future lifeguards and volunteers spoke with passersby.

They explained the importance of preserving the water body and caring for the natural environment.
