- WHEN:
April 24th @ 1:00 PM - WHERE:
Darnell Hollow in the University Forest - Info:
Darnell Hollow, part of the University Forest Section of Coopers Rock State Forest, is sadly a favorite target of illegal dumpers. For the 5th consecutive year, and 6th year overall, the Coopers Rock Foundation is organizing a Clean-Up of the University Forest, including Darnell Hollow. This year's event is co-hosted by the newly-formed Coopers Rock Regional Climbers Coalition. Volunteers are asked to meet at 1 p.m. on Sunday the 24th of April. Follow signs from the turn-off from 857 to the Registration Table, where gloves, bags, and refreshments will be available. There will be a raffle at the end of the day with tickets based on the number of hours worked. New for this year is a graffitti clean-up along the road through Darnell Hollow -- cleaning supplies provided. Earlybirds are welcome for that beginning at noon. If you have a pick-up truck and would like to help out shuttling garbage from our clean-up spots to special dumpsters in Morgantown, your help will be especially appreciated. In the past 4 years, the annual amount of garbage collected has gone from 8 tons, to 3 1/2 tons, to 3 tons, to 1 1/2 tons, so the battle is being won! This tally does not include a few hundred tires.

Pioneer Rocks on Rt. 7 - Info:
The pull-offs along Route 7, by Pioneer Rocks, which are used frequently by climbers and kayakers, are part of a 3-mile stretch of highway that has been adopted by the Friends Of Deckers Creek for many years. That group is hosting a clean-up on Sunday, April 17th. Volunteers are asked to meet at noon, at a pull-off nicknamed "Adam's Rock", 1.1. miles east of the Pioneer Rocks Tavern. Bags and gloves provided; wear boots and clothes that can get dirty. Late-comers are welcome, just look for other volunteers to get bags and gloves. The clean-up will last until 4 p.m. or so.
