“We always tell people to Leave No Trace, but unfortunately, that does not always happen,” said Felicia Boyd, TPF program and outreach director. “That is why each year we do our part, along with our amazing volunteers, to clean up one of our area’s most loved and visited natural resources.”
Volunteers are advised to wear closed-toe shoes and clothes that can get dirty.
