A SPECIAL MESSAGE TO OUR FOLLOWERS AND FRIENDS AND Twin Peaks FANS: Please consider making a special donation to us for a unique, once in a lifetime opportunity to clean up a severely distressed property on the Snoqualmie River off of Reinig Road, in the vicinity of the Three Forks Natural Area, very near where the famous opening shot of "Twin Peaks" was filmed. This property has had unbelievable amounts of trash on it for years and recently caught fire (you can view the fire here: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1264688772499066 ), and it's not only one of the worst eyesores in the area but also a serious threat to water quality in the river. We have already removed 14 cars, and that's just the beginning. In general, most of our operating funds come from public grants, but there are currently no public funds available to support us in cleaning this property up, and we've got volunteers doing much of the labor. Please show your love for the Snoqualmie River and consider making a donation to us for this cause via the PayPal link on our website: https://friendsofthetrail.org/what-you-can-do/
Please click the "+Add special instructions to the seller" and type "Reinig Road Cleanup Project" in the message box. It isn't generally our practice to undertake unfunded projects, but we have to strike while the iron is hot on this one or we may never be able to do it again. We have already received nearly $1,000 in a single day of our fund drive, but much more will be needed. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and your contributions are tax deductible to the full extent of the law. A BIG THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!

Friends of the Trail offers opportunities for trail cleanup. Volunteer today to help remove litter.

After cleaning up a trashed campsite with an abandoned truck camper, Friends of the Trail deploys its tried and true method - "The Yank" - of breaking down abandoned RVs into bite sized pieces for dismantling and hauling away where towing is not a practical option.

Friends of the Trail removed this trash dumped illegally near Pacific Raceway in Kent, Washington. At least half a dozen neighbors stopped by to thank us, and the court ordered community service folks who worked off some of their hours by helping us with this cleanup are going to love seeing the results of their work here on Facebook! With the good weather season arriving, who wouldn't want to work their hours off in the great outdoors rather than in a hot, steamy kitchen or a dusty warehouse? Call us today at (425) 831-5486 and you could be on one of our crews tomorrow. We work weekends, too, so you won't have to take time off from your day job during the week!

Friends of the Trail dismantled an abandoned truck camper on Tinkham Road on Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest - US Forest Service near North Bend, Washington, loaded it and its contents onto our truck and hauled it off for proper disposal, and restored the site to pristine condition. Isn't the "after" how you'd rather see our public lands than the "before"? Help us make it happen! Court ordered community service folks, come work your hours off with us and get 8 hours of credit for every day you help us clean up Washington state's public lands and waterways. Call 425-831-5486 and you could be going out with us tomorrow!
