Description: Tell us in a few words what the item is

During summer camp we enjoy the river and how much wildlife it brings. I picked my favorite spot along the White River to take the campers. The spot has an island that brings calmer, lower level water. Two years ago I began noticing the large amount of trash left behind. It was heartbreaking and I was motivated to begin picking up trash. I further went on to educate the campers and encourage them to take action. I now hike with a trash bag and pick up any trash I can reach.
