Sonoran Desert Cleanup Project
January 2009
Sonoran Desert Cleanup Project
As a service project for the BLM, we cleaned up a section of desert in a closed area of the Sonoran National Monument near Mobile.
Our workers are: Thomas, Mike, Coby, Karl, Connor, Chad, Jude, Kevin, Bob, Ryan.
|
 |
We are working in the area shown on this map and the desert has been destroyed by off-road vehicles and people using it as a dumping area
|
While Coby munches on leftover pizza, the rest of the Scouts unload tools and garbage bags..
 | 
Kevin and Connor start shoveling and raking up trash - the ground is covered with broken glass, shell casings, and lots of JUNK |
Kevin and Jude look for trash from the top of this rock
 | 
Base camp |
Everyone picks an area to work on
|
|
Time for a break already??
 | 
No one wants to sit on these! |
Back to work |
Bob and Mike fill another bag with trash - By the end of the day, we had picked up about 40 tires, 55 bags of trash and around 6,000 shell casings
 |
Debi thinks she should get the prize for the best piece of trash of the day -
