    I worked on regular cleanups of a wetlands near my old apt and the bike path that ran by. We’d pull literally tons of crap out of there but over time it got less and less.

    I remember the 70s-80s and the trash but that doesn’t excuse littering even less now.

      So, are you finding that it stays cleaner? I don’t want it to be my imagination, but I seem to be making an impact. And the rare people who see my crawl out of those woods always see me with trash bags.

      It’s private property, but I think of my self as the unofficial park ranger. Hopefully if anyone bitches I can point to my work. Also, I don’t want to lose the privilege of wandering around out there, figure if we don’t fuck it up, and in fact improve it, no one will complain.
