This is part of the reason "why" we do it... going into a little public forest with about 2000 acres of trail, we found this pile of trash. We couldn't believe that someone would drive into a minimum maintenance road and then carry their garbage into the back of a meadow when they probably had a dumpster within a mile or two of their house.

This little guy is a Ruffled Grouse... it is about the size of a small chicken and roams the woods of the Northland. Grouse are extremely fast flyers in the thick woods and are notorious for taking off at your feet when you are POSITIVE that there is nothing close to you! Just another in the long list of wonderful wildlife we find on our clean up adventures! Hoping that you have a great weekend... and please, feel free to post some of the unique wildlife that live where you hike or swim!!

Started the day by cleaning up this canoe landing at Robertson Lake inside the Paul Bunyan State Forest. Wherever you explore, always take just a few minutes to remove any trash that you can.

We hike and bike into remote trails and lakes every day. Each time we find trash, no matter how into the "backcountry" we go. This lake was miles from a maintained road and still had trash. ALWAYS pick up and pack out your trash!!

The weather has been a little cooler over the last 2 weeks and the wildlife has been on the move in the areas we've been cleaning. This guy was only about 45 feet away when he came out of the swamp... he was about waist high and we guessed about 85-90 pounds.

Hiking at the edge of the Paul Bunyan State Forest in north central Minnesota. This is the time of year where our black bears are eating up to 20,000 calories per day to get fat for winter! No matter where you live, keep our forests, beaches and waterways picked up!

When we are doing trail clean ups, we always encourage people to look around and notice the wildlife that is constantly near. These two little velvet bucks were only about 20 yards away and never ran, they finally got bored with us and just stepped deeper into the woods. Keep your eyes open while doing clean ups!

Sometimes we get to work motorized trails and we can get heavy trash out of the woods. Today we are removing a few thousand pounds of metal that will be recycled and make the trails safer for hiking!

It's not as sharp of an image as I like, but we were happy to see that a chunky momma and a cub were enjoying one of the trails we frequent. We have been wondering about what kind of wildlife strolls by one of our access points, so we put up a camera and found: multiple bears, tons of deer, skunks, fox, bobcat, lots of bunnies, owls, bald eagles and a couple of coyotes!

Hoping that you all have a great weekend and find places on this beautiful planet to explore! Wildlife always seems to find ways to say "hello" when we are doing our clean up work... this guy followed us up and down the beach for about 30 minutes when we were cleaning up the sand! Be safe out there and always be kind to people you meet...
