Last year we had 21 volunteers collect over 400 lbs of trash including a dishwasher, 4 tires, and 1/4 the front end of a truck.

It is a great way to get involved with your community and an excellent way to show your kids how to get involved and make their local environment a better place. Children are very welcome. Children under 12 yrs must have adult accompany them.

Fly Fishers of Davis will be sponsoring the lunch after the event.
