Ahh, spring cleaning. The Talbot Trail ATV Club helps clean up.

It's good to see other groups holding these cleanup events. I know locally we have cleanups at the dunes via the ASA a couple times a year.

The Talbot Trail ATV Club hit the trails in Southwold township on Saturday to do a little spring cleaning.
"Remember Earth Day? we're bouncing off of that and expanding it," said Peter Rybski, president of the ATV club, who led a group of club members as they picked up garbage from nearby trails on their second annual clean-up project.
The crew, made of club members, spread out across Lyle road, Blind Line and Mill Road he said. "We patrol this, we maintain this. It's one way of managing our resources."
"This year, what we're finding, we're still getting a lot of renovators," he said, pointing to a trailer on the back of his yellow ATV packed with material like insulation. Other crew came across a lot of flooring and scrap metal as well, he added.

More groups need to get together and help take care of our natural resources.
