Earth Day Efforts on the Mio Ranger
District - April 2008
In celebration of
Earth Day, twenty-five employees of the Mio Ranger District of the
Huron-Manistee National Forests spent their work day involved in
hands-on projects to improve the scenic beauty of public lands. The
focus of their efforts this year included cleanup of a former dump
site near Luzerne and removal of scrap materials from a site near
the Bull Gap trailhead south of Mio. Work at the former dump site
will continue later this year when trees will be planted to help
re-vegetate and naturalize the area.
Two large dumpsters
were filled as a result of the clean-up efforts. One ten-yard
dumpster was completely filled with scrap steel that was recycled
locally.
The dumpsters for
the project were secured through a partnership with the
Adopt-a-Forest program of the Michigan Coalition for Clean
Forests.
