Shooting site cleanups

only problem with that is that someone can take that sign and do some harm... nice Idea though.

what we do as 4 wheelers is work out an agreement with the USFS or BLM to do routine cleanups on trails and therefore dumpsites and normally part of that agreement is signage stating that we participate in the cleanup of the site as well as wheel there and please do your part to keep our Trails open sort of thing. I suppose that a similar deal can be worked out for our shoot sites too. But I can tell you that jerks will still be jerks and not cleanup after themselves no matter what you do so for me its just better to assume the inevitable that two weeks after we do a cleanup trash will show up again, and no matter what you put up signage trail closed rails or what ever. they will use it as an obstacle to wheel on or shoot it. The only thing we have on them is our physical ability to keep coming back and cleanup. Personally I think that after we have a club shoot we can cleanup. If we dedicate a weekend just to cleanup and play a bit after that, I think a couple hours once a month should be more then enough to keep the place clean.what do you guys think?

btw, spring pawnee cleanup

Hello,

This is Sarah Proctor from the Pawnee National Grassland. I know a lot of you have either helped out with past target shooting clean ups or you have been interested in doing some clean up out on the Pawnee. I just wanted to inform you and kind of give you a heads up in advance that we are planning to do a clean up in May this year, most likely on May 12, and have May 19th as a back up in case weather is bad on the 12. Right now we are planning on working from 9am to about 3pm (and if you need to leave earlier that is fine too.)

So right now I am just trying to get the word out and hopefully people will mark their calendars and tell anyone else they know who might be interested. We are doing this in conjunction with the Denver Audubon society so they will have some volunteers and I am hoping to get some
volunteers to help as well. The area we are planning to clean up is a big
area so all the help we can get would be great! It is an area that is popular for target shooting, and just this year we have closed our Forest Service road ( FS road 41) in this area to help restore and clean up the destruction and trash that has damaged this area. If you are familiar with this area ...it is near County road 102 and road 41. And depending on how much help we get there is about 1-4 sections we would like to clean up.

I'd kind of like to get some feed back from you all, if you think you might be able to help us out in May or not. Also we are kind of searching around to see if anyone has access to dump trucks. We had one last year but I don't know for sure if we can use it again this year. So I am just trying to see if maybe someone knows someone who has access to one, and they wouldn't mind if we use it on May 12.

There is no rush to get back to me, I am just doing some early planning and get a feel for how much help we may be able to get. But please do let me know, and spread the word as much as you can! By the end of the month I should have a little flyer made up to distribute.

Thank you again for all the work you have done for us, and I hope to see you out there again this year!
Sarah Proctor
