On that day, thousands of volunteers will give time and labor to enhance and improve 70 sites on America's public lands and learn more about the role of public lands in preserving a healthy environment. For the sites it is more than a cleanup.
Managers prepare projects that result in real and needed improvements to our public lands.
Volunteers also learn, first hand, the issues that land managers face in maintaining recreation areas. A general cleanup is planned for the area. Volunteers will also be able to see the results of efforts to improve the riparian habitat on the property and to take in an environmental educational presentation during the lunch hour. This will enable the route to be maintained as a viable trail. During the day, speakers will discuss the future of the Blackfoot and issues such as special management for the threatened bull trout.
