Trash Tacklers: The Reservation has recently benefitted from several groups coming in to the Reservation to do trash tackling events.
The Conservancy is thankful that 12 members of the Millburn Climate Action group visited the Reservation on Sunday, Earth Day weekend and picked up 10 bags of trash in the Locust Grove area.
On May 1st, 18 members of Temple Ner Tamid cleaned 8 bags of trash from the Shady Nook Picnic area as part of their community service project.
