Here's an opportunity to join in on a community cleanup event sponsored by the Oregon Hunter's Association - Yamhill Co, OR.
This will be on BLM lands just West of Carlton, OR, in the Trask hunting unit. Here's their Info:
Sat, June 20th. Meet at 9 AM.
Google Maps: 45°18'40.3"N 123°24'46.0"W
GPS: 45.311184, -123.412777
Their Facebook Event info: Public Lands Shooting Site Clean-up
Who: Any and all are welcome.
What: BLM public lands trash clean-up
When: We will be set-up by 800-830 am for a 9am start time. We would like to be done and clear by noon before it gets warm out, and allow everyone to enjoy their day.
Where: Twenty-five minutes west of Carlton. See the below map for areas of focus. A small group of folks will be assigned the trash spots within each area. We have more detailed maps for each area.
How: We will provide trash bags and have basic latex gloves. We also have 5 gallon buckets for brass. We have 1 truck and trailer on standby ready for trash. We will likely need a couple more volunteers to go to the dump afterwards. OHA-YC will cover the dump bill.

I decided to join them, as I had met several of them at a meeting they invited me to speak at. Lots of great folks and I'm happy to help.
Post here if you plan to go and I'll send them a body count from NWFA.

Awesome job gentlemen and lady. It's great seeing a positive face for the shooting community. Thank you all very much.Spreading the word like a virus!!!! "Be responsible when shooting on public lands. Clean up when done. Respect the forest. Support the shooting sports."
That was our Target Shooter Info Center message today at Mary's Peak, West of Corvallis, OR. Thank you for the help @Cosimel and TNL Board members Tracy and Craig ( @Rem700..300 ) . We talked everything under the sun about guns. Not a whole lot of shooters today but all we met were very supportive.
One Gent passed by and went shooting without visiting us. He wasn't sure what we were or what we were doing there. When he came out, he was packing a 40 gallon trash bag full! We called him over and thanked him for doing that on his own, without our prompting him to do so. He just does it every time he goes shooting. I treated him to 100 rounds of 22 ammo as an appreciation for his stewardship. He then turned around and said "Now that I have more ammo, I'm going back to shoot some more!" When he returned, he had another full bag of trash!
We had a great time visiting with the boys who were sporting the classic rifles! So cool!
Called it a day about 12:30 and I went to visit my brother in Eugene where he treated me to some Wild Boar Garlic-Sage- Jalapeño Breakfast Sausage! Yep, gonna love that!
Lots of classic sports cars and big Harley's out enjoying our great outdoors! A regular parade! Nice day all round!

Great day for you two! Thanks a ton! Hope your 4th is a day of celebration for our great nation and you enjoy every minuet of it!Tracy and I spent most of the day roaming around up on Upper Neal Creek today outside of Scio. Had great intentions to get Tracy more practice with her new pistol but ended up picking up trash around most of the loop that you can drive. Weather was sunny then mountain fog. New utility trailer worked great. Most spots were well abused but cleaned up pretty good. Met some great people at the first quarry. They came up to shoot as we were cleaning up. They knew of Northwest Firearms but not sure if they are members. They jumped right in and helped. It was greatly appreciated. A lot of shooting trash and late night party in the woods trash. Even a shot up door and compressor. Some pictures of the day. Not in order.View attachment 717708View attachment 717709View attachment 717710View attachment 717708View attachment 717709View attachment 717710View attachment 717711View attachment 717712View attachment 717714View attachment 717715View attachment 717717View attachment 717718View attachment 717719View attachment 717720View attachment 717721View attachment 717722View attachment 717723View attachment 717724
