A publicity campaign about waste left by freedom campers will continue in the wake of the recent removal of boulder blockades beside Lake Hawea, a community leader says.
Hawea Community Association president Rachel Brown said action was still required to ensure local scenic areas were not fouled by travellers leaving rubbish and human waste.
The association formed boulder barricades to block access to three lakeside areas - at Deep Creek, Craigburn and near the Lake Hawea lookout - in April as a part of a local initiative to raise awareness about troublesome travellers and their mess.
Ms Brown said the association would monitor the areas through the summer. She hopes the scenic spots will not end up soiled again by litter and human waste, after a community-led cleanup of the three sites last month.
The Hawea association has touted the idea of voluntary wardens to monitor some areas, but an increase in "strategic" signage and maps would also help educate travellers and inform them where they can camp.
More roadside toilets at places along State Highway 6 would also be good, she said.
The cleanup of the scenic areas had included burning off lakeside scrub to tidy the rest areas.
The association also had plans for further improvements, Ms Brown said.
