Trip Report

Today was the third in a monthly series of cleanups of parks and other green spaces in the Eugene / Springfield area.
On a sunny, 73°F afternoon, we headed out to Wild Iris Ridge. The entire area was so clean that after 3.2 miles, our group of eight collected only 5 pounds of trash. In the ditches near the parking lot, Mari Baldwin collected an additional 20 pounds of trash.
Thank you, everyone.
