University of Illinois Extension is partnering with Friends of the Shawnee and the USDA Shawnee National Forest Service to host our annual fall Trash Blasts! They will happen on the first Friday of every month from September until November from 1pm to 3pm at various locations in the Shawnee National Forest. Small teams of volunteers will collect litter and remove graffiti at the assigned locations.
To be prepared, volunteers should wear sturdy shoes, bring their own work gloves, wear long pants and closed toed shoes. Trash buckets and trash grabbers will be provide for volunteers to use during the trash blast. This event is limited to 30 participants.
