Trash Mob to Clean Up Remnants of Waterfall Fire
The Waterfall Fire of 2004 was one of the worst fires in recent history to devastate the Eastern Sierra foothills near Carson City. After it was all said and done, over 8,700 acres and 18 homes were destroyed. As a part of the recovery process plastic tree protectors were put in place to help the seedlings that were planted.
A decade has come and gone since that time and now the plastic tree protectors, which are still scattered around the hills west of town, have long outlived their usefulness. On Saturday, October 1st, please join Muscle Powered for a special Trash Mob to remove the plastic protectors.
- Meet at 7:45-8:00 at Long Ranch Park/corner of Bristol & Longview
- REQUIRED: long pants, long sleeved shirt, closed toe shoes, helmet (bike helmets okay), and gloves (Muscle Powered has a few helmets and gloves for those who do not have those items)

- Coffee and light snacks in AM
- 12:30-2:00 Lunch at Long Ranch Park after cleanup (bring your own sack lunch, beverages provided)
