Carson City Parks Volunteer Coordinator
Carson City area citizens spent their MLK Day in the canyons near East Silver Saddle Ranch cleaning up dumpsites. In total, more than 50 volunteers removed 7,080 pounds of trash from the natural area. Items of all kinds were taken out of the canyons including plastic bottles, tires, yard trimmings, toys, and even kitchen sinks.
Muscle Powered and Desert Pigs were generous enough to donate their time, volunteers, and equipment.
The Carson City Parks, Recreation and Open Space Department wants to thank: Costco for providing snacks and drinks, Waste Management for dumpsters, and Public Works for road signs.
We would also like to give a special thank you to the volunteers for their efforts to restore the canyons and give back to the community. MLK had a vision of a “beloved community” and this type of work sets Carson City closer to that goal.
