| Before: Cascade Cruisers prepare to tackle a dumpsite. |
On Saturday, April 22, seventy-two volunteers braved the coastal climate to help clean-up garbage and invasive plants in the Tillamook state Forest as part of the annual SOLVE Earth Day clean-up.
At the end of the day, these fantastic folks, working with four Forestry staff members, had filled two, 20-yard dumpsters with garbage ranging from a queen sized mattress set to a sectional sofa to several pick-up loads of target shooting trash, collected 52 tires and pulled scotch broom while cleaning up storm debris at one of the campgrounds.
A huge thank-you goes out to everyone who rallied in the rain to remove the refuse. The Tillamook State Forest is lucky to have volunteers like you!
