Trash Blasts will happen on the first Friday of every month from Sept. until Nov. from 1 pm to 3 pm at various locations in the Shawnee National Forest.
The selected sites for this spring are:
During Trash Blasts we will break into small teams of volunteers to collect litter from selected sites. We find items as large as mattresses to tiny micro trash. No matter what we find we try to remove it to help restore the area to its natural state.
To be prepared, volunteers should wear sturdy shoes, bring their leather work gloves, wear long pants and closed-toed shoes. If you do not have leather gloves, we can provide them for you. Trash buckets and trash grabbers will be provided for volunteers to use during the trash blast.
