TDodge,rvrtramp,Kalamabama,

You may be able to get some help from the WDFW as far as garbage pick-up and disposal, but with the cuts in their budget there is no guarantee. We have this option open at the Ben Howard boat launch, but the dip-sticks who vandalize the porta-potty out there also seem to find great joy in vandalizing the garbage that has been left for pick up so I usually get rid of it myself!!! What a great idea to ask local fishing shops and businesses to accept it!

I'm not sure if it was the WDFW, Snohomish Cty, or some other govt. entity, but Northwest Women Flyfishers got a sign posted out there naming our group as the stewards of that site. While the sign is nice, active presence seems to be the key to getting the point across to folks who utilize that area. People often stop and ask me about why I bother and after I tell them, they usually end up offering to help out and then they have some time invested into keeping the area clean as well! All it usually takes is for someone to give a damn and to not give up!!!

Way to go guys!!!
