If you’ve ever ridden the White Trail at Six Mile Run, you’ve seen the pile of trash (tires, refrigerators, mattress, stoves, etc) along the side. While hiking with his mother, Boy Scout Zion Montes was very moved by this blight and wanted to do something to make a difference. For his Eagle Scout project, he’s chosen to coordinate a weekend of trash removal. On Saturday 11/30 and Sunday 12/1 from 8a to 3p (second day is only if needed) Zion and a group of volunteers will start at the farmhouse next to the Middlebush crossing, hike in, and carry trash out to a dumpster that has been donated.

Knowing how many people mountain bike at Six Mile Run, Zion reached out to JORBA to see if we wanted to help out. He’d love to have any additional volunteers. You don’t have to be there at the start or for the whole day. Drop in a lend a hand 🙂 There will be sign in sheet at the parking lot. Snacks and lunch will be provided.

Here’s the location of the parking location (40.4678889, -74.5456389) Google Maps

If you can’t attend but would like to donate to the effort, Zion has a GoFundMe setup.

Zion has created a work plan and advice on how to dress and what you should bring.

Post on MTBNJ to keep the discussion going.

Looking forward to seeing some mtb’ers out there! 🚵‍♂️😎
