Idaho environmental organizations are calling for volunteers to help conduct an upcoming annual cleanup at the Sawtooth National Recreation Area.
The U.S. Forest Service is teaming up with environmental groups to perform the cleanup.
The Idaho Capital Sun reports volunteers can sign up to clean zones in the front or backcountry within the Sawtooths.
This event is self-guided, and it allows volunteers to decide when and where they’d like to contribute.
Suggested cleanup zones are provided, but volunteers are welcome to suggest and attend to a zone that is not listed.
The cleanup is in its fifth year, which has led to the removal of 234 industrial-sized bags of garbage from the Sawtooth area.
Susan James, recreation program manager for the Sawtooth National Recreation Area, said the cleanup started as a plea for help during the pandemic.
For more information or to sign up for the cleanup, visit the Idaho Conservation League’s website.
