🌲 Crestline Illegal Dumpsite Cleanup—A Huge Success! 🌲

Bear Valley Protection Society and the U.S. Forest Service cleaned up FOUR, illegal dumpsites near Old Mill Road and Highway 138 in Crestline.

Thanks to the hard work of 20 BVPS volunteers and eight USFS personnel, we filled an entire 16-foot dump trailer and three pickup truck beds with illegally dumped trash. The debris included automotive parts, tires, furniture, oil containers, paint cans, and other waste that threatened our forest, wildlife, and watershed.

A heartfelt thank you to every BVPS volunteer and USFS team member who worked together to make this cleanup possible. Your time, energy, and dedication made a tremendous difference for the San Bernardino National Forest and our mountain communities.

Our Forest. Our Future.
