Volunteers from Sisters, Oregon, are dedicated to stewardship! Close to 20 people worked as a team to do something we should never have to do. Clean up other peoples trash! Especially when that trash is in our forests.

Thank you to all the great folks who joined us, all the awesome supporting sponsors who contributed, all the forest service officials who worked their tails off and all the Law Enforcement personnel who join us. You are an inspiration to all who sees!
