On April 22, 2007 we are planning a litter pick up in the Lost Creek area of the Cherokee National Forest. This is Earth Day and we plan to make this an all day activity.

The Forest Service will provide the trash bags needed. In addition, the full bags can be left at Lost Creek Campground and the Forest Service will pick them up the next morning.

We will begin on FS Road 103 (from the river road) to FS Road 23. This will include a clean up at Lost Creek Campground. We will meet at Webb Store on the Hiwassee River at 9am. A picnic will be provided at Lost Creek Campground at 2pm (please get with Cyndi or Shannon to find out what to bring).

Remember your gloves, something ro drink along the way, snacks for the kids. The weather is still unpredictable in the mountains so wear pants and bring a jacket, just in case.

One of our main Community Service activities will be frequent litter pick up in the Cherokee National Forest, volunteering on River Clean-up Days and doing trail maintenance as well.

In addition, we will meet with the Keep McMinn Beautiful Committee and participate in the “Adopt A Highway” program. We are currently looking at the section of highway leaving town on 411hwy and going east. (Mecca Pike Road). I chose this area as it is the gateway to the National Forest and receives more traffic at certain times of the year.

Specific activities will be announced in this section, with dates and times.
