Lot of shooters here have get together s to clean up shooting spots to keep them from being closed. Maybe some who live around you could get together for a clean up there.

Very few people are interested in doing pit clesn ups. I always pick up shotgun hullsb steel rifle & pistol cases and brass every trip we take every weekend from spring until winter comes and we can not get back in the woods to the pit.
I have two magnets with a release builtin the handle for picking them up. I bought them from Harbor Freight for about $10 a piece. Best $20 I ever spent. I haul the cases & hulls in three gallon buckets I get for free at the bakery at our lucal Safeway store.
The shotgun hulls I generally put in the plastic grocery store bags, tie them up and toss two away when I stop & get gas or anywhere else that has trash cans.
The steel rifle & pistol cases grt dumped inthe metal recycling dumpster at the transfer station a few blocks from our place.
The brass we pick up gets seperated, cleaned and reused by us, tradedb or given away. The garbage brass is tossed into a bucket and taken to the scrap yard when Mason turns in his aluminum cans.
He has $136 saved up.
Maybe next month I will try to put together a pit clean up day on a Saturday or Sunday.
I think I will check around Darrington and see if there is some one who will let us dump the garbage in their dumpster. If not i guess I will pay gor the dump fee at the transfer station.
This magnet is the key to.picking up the garbage shotgun hulls & steel rifle & pistol cases. $10 at Harbor Freight.
One time we went shooting we didn't pick up any shotgun hulls or steel rifle & pistol cases.
We picked up twenty-two pounds of brass.
