Roll up your sleeves for Hyalite’s annual Spring Clean-Up
Join Friends of Hyalite for its annual Spring Clean-Up Day on Saturday, May 15th beginning at noon. Volunteers will pick up trash, clean out fire rings, and do whatever else needs to be done to spruce up Hyalite for the summer season. Bring gloves if you have them, dress for a day outside, and don’t forget the bear spray! Tools and trash bags will be provided. The afternoon of clean-up will wrap with a volunteer appreciation picnic.
Due to the pandemic, those interested are asked to register in advance at www.hyalite.org/clean-up-days. Volunteers will be provided with meeting location upon registration.
Friends of Hyalite organizes this bi-annual Clean-Up in Spring and Fall with help from the Custer-Gallatin National Forest and the City of Bozeman. Over the past decade, Friends and volunteers have removed more than 10,000 pounds of garbage and recyclables from trailheads, parking lots, campsites and along roads. Clean-Up days are held before the road opens in May and on the day before rifle season begins in October.
