The Idaho National Guard is partnering with BLM and the Birds of Prey Partnership to host their second cleanup, on Public Lands Day this year.
“We had about 27 volunteers come out. With that one we had four dumpsters, we picked up about 83 tons of garbage,” says Charlie Baun, the Manager for the National Guard’s Conservation Branch.
He tells me this time around they’ll have more dumpsters and hopefully more volunteers, but they’re still seeing illegal dumping.
