To introduce you into Project Wilderness we are a non-profit based in Oregon which travel all over Oregon & Washington to preform public land cleanups & habitat restoration.

We're looking for input on cleanup locations for the up coming months. Please let us know where the public areas in need of assistance are! Locations can be anywhere in Oregon or Washington. Pictures and detailed location information is very helpful!

I've got a spot you can clean up, its was an open shooting are but was recently closed down, probably due to littering. The ground is littered with shells, broken clay pigeons, and other trash.

Its a gravel pit right outside Sultan, WA. Off of Hwy2, while traveling East, take a left on Sultan Basin Rd. Drive a mile or two down the road until you reach 116th St, take a left. Then its about a quarter mile down the road, through a yellow gate. About 100 yards past the gate the gravel pit will be on your left.

Thank you for your efforts.

I honestly have no idea about any spots that need cleaned up around here, but if you find them, post up and I'll be there to help if I can.

I just remembered another area thats been trashed. Behind the main library in Marysville is a small woodland area, a square mile at the most. I used to play back there when I was a kid. I went back there a couple years ago to reminisce and the place was ruined. Most of the trees were spray painted, beer cans and trash everywhere.

If you're interested in that spot, I could make a trip over there to be sure it still exists, they could have bulldozed the area by now for all i know. And again, let me know if you would like more details.

This is a damn cool thing you guys do!
