What we’re about
KICK OFF!!!!
Let's get out and make our parks look great
• For those on Bikes, those that can hike a bit, people with wagons or little people with little gloves, nature needs us.
• Hike and Bike, Organizing, Removing dibris easily and effectively!
• We're in it for the "after" pictures !!!
When I was young, the canyons and woods were great memory makers for exploration. Community groups can bring these trails back from the litter. I have tools for removing large items with some great clean-up projects in our beautiful parks. I'm hoping to organize multi-task cleanup efforts that will include things from casual trash cleaning, to remaval of large items like shopping carts along the rivers and watersheds. I want to get in and finish those forever unkept places. We can bike in or meet at the site in the park where we will work, or we can also do some fun cleanup hikes
I'd actually like to build a BIKE and HIKE model with events planned from members scouting their parks and proposing cleanup, having members expand projects - I'm hoping for organizers who are community minded, and enjoy our nature trails. I see this would be great for a few hours each week in a meetup.
• The first priority of any meetup will be safety. Please wear appropriate safety gear and stay clear of others, while looking out for each other.
• Safety vests when appropriate
• Gloves - can't say it enough
• Pick-up stick or grabber for hikes (I have 9 or 10 of them, and plenty of bags)
• Clothing appropriate for the tasks. Boots, Pants... I want to hike and bike but most target locations are a short walk to parking and roadways for trashbags and dibris staging
• There will be bugs, including ticks. I use the Deet based "Off!" and try not too soak to much in, the stuff is not healthy. There are natural products, please avoid getting bit out there.
• This is all new. Any suggestions, please!
