Scout Service Project--Where?

[trollboy8]

I have been put in charge of organizing a scout service project. My first inclination was, of course, to have the kids go pick up some trash and what better place to pick up trash then some of the fishing spots that we all frequent? Any ideas about where a good spot would be to get the kids to pick up a bunch of trash in or around the Orem area? Provo River, Utah Lake? I need specifics. Maybe if whoever runs the Lindon Boat Harbor reads this we could do a trash pick-up for free entrance fee swap? []

Sounds like you have already gotten it figured out. I will try to squeeze into my old shirt if I can get in with you[].

Unfortunately when I think about an area that has been trashed I think of Utah Lake, and the upper end of the Jordan River near Lehi.

A UVSC group and the URC just did a cleanup on some part of the Provo, I think. Check [url "http://utahrivers.org/updates_and_events.html"]http://utahrivers.org/updates_and_events.html[/url] for more info about where they did, just so you don't double up.

Other than that, I'm sure there are plenty of areas you could dive into.

Or, you could contact Utah Lake State Park at (801) 375-0731 to see if they need any projects done, cleanups or other.

That's a good idea, I will try contacting the State Park--bet they would even supply bags, etc.

At my old job, we worked with Provo City on organizing a cleanup. Not only did they supply bags and safety vests, but all we had to do was fill the bags and leave them by the side of the road, and they picked them up.

In Ogden, then brought some big Cats and hauled monsterous deadfall away, they supplied gloves, bags, clippers, etc. It takes some planning (plenty of time) but the payoff can be sweet.

This mornings SLC Tribune outdoors section calls for volunteers for two service projects - you may want to check it out.

I think TubeDude has the number for LBH so you could PM him and get that info.

I know when I go down to LBH I always pick up other peoples trash and throw it in the back of my truck then empty it on my way out.
