Upcoming Spring Cleanup-n-Shoot Events

Here's what's on the slate for Spring so far.  We recently finished the first one for 2017 in Tillamook State Forest off Hwy 26 (Photos are on the Events page under Past Events) and are moving on to several more soon.

March 18th: Mt Hood National Forest.  36 Pit Cleanup.  Hwy 224 at the 36 Pit.

This is a small area and won’t take long to cleanup.  It sees a lot of use and gets messy often.  It’s a place we need to keep in good condition.
Bring some toys for some fun & safe recreational shooting after the cleanup!
If you value the privilege of free recreation in Mt. Hood National Forest, join Trash No Land, Northwest Firearms, USFS and Clackamas County Dump Stoppers as we take a stand against trash on public land.

We will begin our Spring Cleanup on Larch Mtn. in the morning and end with a BBQ about Noon, followed by some good old target practice.
DNR will provide trash bags, rubber gloves, day passes for the day, and even accident insurance. Plus you can log the time towards a free annual pass as well.  TNL will arrange the logistics with DNR and VWOC will supply the BBQ part.  We need volunteers to help with the BBQ part!
Bring outdoor clothes, gloves and boots.  Also, bring a rake, gloves, drinking water and a good spirit for doing good for the sport of recreational shooting!
