Looking forward to it. I get the privilege of leading a cleanup crew through the forest this year....so if anyone knows any areas that have litter/trash let me know before I plan my route

I know I'm missing front recovery points and some other things, but I'd like to join in if possible.

All are welcome to join in the clean up. It mostly takes place on the gravel forest roads so there shouldn't be any need for recovery points. See you there.

I will be there for sure. It's always nice going out in the beautiful woods and cleaning up other peoples trash.
I'm going up this weekend at some point to start looking for hot spots of trash. Probably Saturday late afternoon/evening.

I'll be there for sure. It's my day off, which means I can ignore the companies request for OT.

Went up today, tried to do a little recon. Trash in the popular not so legal shooting spots. First pit on the left coming up from 4 corners is horrible. Pit on the left before Mountain View is pretty bad.. About like last year. The big gravel pit by Deer Pin is going to be another hot spot. I wasn't able to continue down to the staging area, but I'll try to get some pictures friday. Feel free to come with

Unfortunately I have now been required to work on Saturday, so I will not be attending. I have emailed Ryan with DNR to inform him since I was scheduled to be a crew leader.

Well Shawn, I'm in the same boat you're in. I have to work also. As funny as it sounds, I would rather be picking up trash. I hope all goes well. Be Safe!

Well, like a bonehead... I forgot to pick up a new discover pass. Since I'm volunteering, will I receive one while I'm there or am I screwed?

My under standing is all volunteerset receive a free day pass "has been blue in the past " and will not be required for one to help. I do belive this pass will be returned when you sign out for the day.

If you purchase a pass online, they allow you to print off a temporary pass as well. Turns out I have to work at 8am, but I should be able to get out early.
