Friends of Hyalite organize a bi-annual Clean Up in Spring and Fall. Combined we remove almost ten tons of garbage and recyclables every year from trailheads, parking lots, campsites and along roads. Clean up days are held on the weekend before the road opens in May and on the day before rifle season begins in October and are followed by a volunteer appreciation BBQ sponsored by local businesses. The spring 2016 Clean Up Day is May 15. Volunteers will meet at the gate/parking area at the bottom of Hyalite Canyon and carpool up the road to pick up trash along the road and at trailheads and other areas throughout Hyalite. We will reconvene at the reservoir pavilion for a BBQ at the end of the day and people will be free to head home by 5:00. Volunteers should wear closed-toed shoes and bring gloves, water, bear spray, and appropriate clothing (be prepared for sun, snow, and rain). Trash bags, extra gloves, and tools will be provided.

To volunteer meet at the gate/parking area at the bottom of Hyalite Canyon at 12:30 on May 15.
