Twenty Five public land owners gathered at a target shooting location, along Sultan Basin Rd, WA, on Sunday June 4th, ’23. Among those were representatives from Washington Chapter of Backcountry Hunters & Anglers (BHA), Trash No Land, WaGuns and NorthwestFirearms. Washington Department of Natural Resources was represented by Brigan Cooper (Recreation Education and Enforcement Warden).
They quickly became a team focused on removing as much trash as possible in three hours. With a ‘Can Do’ attitude, they embraced the challenge and went to work.
Teamwork, pleasantries and good conversations dominated the day as they shared rakes, pickers, magnets, muscles and wheel barrows to transform a trashy looking dump site into a clean recreation area.
This place hasn’t been this clean in a long time!
The happening continued with a barbecue lunch and a free raffle drawing of several prizes.
Prizes graciously donated by Cabela’s and Trash No Land.

Great job by all. Looks like a nice area to target practice.
It actually went by pretty fast. I got to meet a bunch of people and enjoyed myself helping out on the clean up effort. The pile of trash was huge and it all had to be carried out at least a hundred yards out to the road to be picked up.
A big thank you to every one who was there and helped out on the clean up and a big thank you to Bill Cogley for all you do on these clean ups.
Thank you for all your efforts
Thank you so much for having me! I had a wonderful time and enjoyed meeting all of you! My favorite thing about working for DNR is the passionate folks who dedicate their time to keeping our public lands clean and safe. Seriously, you guys are the BEST!
Looking forward to helping out at the next clean-up!
