We have been cleaning quite a bit lately! Mostly in bear & deer country, but sometimes in shark pup areas too! Wherever we do clean up work, we obey regulations and stay current on any wildlife & weather warnings. Hoping that your weekend adventures are the best!

It has been a wild, crazy & also sad last 10 weeks. We crossed off a bucket list item on our clean up list, but tragically lost a board member to cancer just after. We have been taking care to stay true to our charter, without ignoring to great contribution that those who helped start this journey have added along the way. Life is only temporary & health is fleeting. Cherish those who have come before us and taught us how to be stewards of the land... celebrate the young & new life that is before us due to those who showed us the way.

The lakes are open finally and that means shoreline clean ups before rushes and pads start to grow! We primarily work non-motorized lakes or waterways that are "hike in" only. There is nothing special about why we pick these areas, it just seems like they stay cleaned up for longer amounts of time and allows us to get to more bodies of water. No matter what kind of beach or waterway you choose, always make sure to pick up your trash and a few extra bits that others may have left behind! We can do this...

Just a few of the friends we meet on the trail this time of year! Currently, the weeds and brush dried out from winter have not "greened up" enough for ANY campfires in Minnesota. Wherever you live, always be mindful of fire danger when you are doing clean up work. Wildfires spread SO fast in timber & grasslands.

Four days ago, we had no snow... now we have a fresh 6-12 inches depending on how far north or east in Minnesota a person travels to! Whatever season is happening in your back yard, we hope you take the opportunity to get outdoors this weekend and explore! Be safe and be good to those you meet along the trails!

The snow is melting fast over the last few days and is exposing a ton of trash hidden for months. Cans, pails, bags, bottles are along many trails. Let's all take a few minutes on our hikes this weekend to remove some trash along the way and then dispose of it properly.

The Caribbean island of Aruba has a very strict enforcement of environmental laws that watch over beach, water and land trash maintenance. It has been the cleanest island, by far, that we have visited and worked beaches on. Congrats to Aruba on their efforts to keep the country cleaned up and provide safe nesting areas for sea turtles!! The back side, remote side, of the island also has a wonderful history of providing for native snake and owl populations. Well done, Aruba!!

In our area the lakes are still frozen thick, but we know spring is starting in many parts of the hemisphere. Use the warmer weather as an excuse to get outdoors and do some trail or beach clean up. The next two or three months will be some of the busiest for us, as it will be easy to find trash when the snow is melting and trail grasses haven't grown tall yet. Wherever you live, go explore this weekend and always leave your favorite places cleaner than how you found them!

Yes, kids, bears are real!! This is how high we suspend food at least 50 yards from camp, toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo, soap or any other "smelly stuff" when we are doing remote overnight clean ups. Be smart when you are in the woods. Hoping you are able to get out and go on some epic adventures this weekend!

This isn't a dump site, it's one of dozens of little coves that faces the open ocean on an island we just visited and it gets a fresh batch of plastic trash every high tide. Each of these bottles, fan parts, pails, boat fenders, oil containers had been floating in the Caribbean and finally washed ashore. They can drift for years. Let's all try our hardest to dispose of this waste properly and keep it out of the oceans and off of beaches.
