Rich thanks for the info. There`s also the forrest clean up in the white river area near Green Water in King County. I don`t know how to post the link. It`s the same one that Rich posted last year. It was such a success there doing it again. I took my oldest daughter and volunteered for the day and it was great with a big turn out. There were volunteers such as garbage companys and even tow companys that volunteered to haul old RVs out of the brush. Maybe Rich has or can find the info. The fish and wildlife officer`s name is Iaan Cann I think. Thanks again Rich.
