Appreciated

I would like to express my appreciation to the Dixon Entrance
Chapter of the American Society of Foresters for the excellent
job they did this weekend in cleaning up mile 6 on North Tongass.
Saturday morning as I was coming into town, I noticed how clean
the road looked from Revilla Road and around the bend. Then I
noticed the stack of trash bags they gathered. It is amazing
how much they collected. I hope people realize they need to keep
their loads covered to prevent it from flying out of their vehicle.
If they did that, maybe everyone would not have to pick up trash
as often as they do.
On another issue, think of
the damage the propane tank could do as it dropped from a vehicle,
or the tire, or even the wood blocks. It is a safety matter as
well as a littering problem.
The sad thing is that the clean
road was so noticeable to me. The cleanliness stood out in stark
contrast as something out of the ordinary, not as commonplace.
If you know a member of the
Society of Foresters, please tell them you appreciate what they
have done and are doing to keep our community clean and beautiful.
