"The Trash They Take Out"


Left is a picture of some of the trash our volunteers found behind the homes near the forest. We applaud out volunteers hard work at keeping the Town Forest clear of such things as peoples old computer screens, old baby items, old plastic plants and lawn items, and used furniture and old toilets. Also, when people dump there yard waste into the area behind there homes it makes them much more vulnerable to wildfire. Clearing out this excess yard waste helps the forest stay healthy, too, as it often contains invasive species, which can spead throughout the forest and choke out native plants.
Below is an old abandoned campfire filled with plastic bags
and food waste. Not exactly what anyone wants to see!
Also, plastic is a choking hazaard for animals!
Please remember take out what
you bring into the Town Forest !
Please join us in keeping the Town Forest clean!
