Short Description of Activity
On three dates, 11/2, 11/17 and 11/23 I picked up trash, shell casings, broken glass, bottles, fast food trash bags etc. There haven’t been any large bags of trash left there since the first time I cleaned there but those that do go there continue to leave trash each week end and there are years of broken glass and shell casings.There is always a bag of trash removed.
Reflection/Evaluation
The site looks much better than when I first went there but unfortunately many use it who have no respect for the natural environment. It will be an ongoing process. It looks like BLM is working toward putting in a fence to try to prevent area being used for four wheelers as their are some new poles in the ground at the top of the hill.
