Forest Clean-up Is Planned for May 12

Volunteers will gather to clean up the St. Ignace District of the Hiawatha National Forest Saturday, May 12, at 9 a.m. at the parking lot of Castle Rock in St. Ignace. Volunteers will meet rain or shine, and all are welcome to participate.

More than 51 illegal dump sites have been eliminated from the forest in 10 years of clean-up efforts, and 1,000 tons of garbage have been removed from the forest.
