The 600 mile trash run OVERLANDERS GO THE DISTANCE FOR THE KEWEENAW
By Cindy Pope Photography by Josh Shymanski
Any excuse for a trip to Copper Harbor is good enough. Being able to lend a hand in keeping some of our favorite camping places clean just sweetens the deal. On May 22, the Keweenaw Outdoor Recreation Coalition hosted a cleanup of the area along Mandan Road out to High Rock Bay and around the Clark Mine. Eager volunteers showing up included Sarah Michals and her friend Jamie, Josh Symanski, Shane Piantek, myself and husband Chad. KORC provided trash bags, gloves and the Mariner North provided refreshments and food. Thank you, KORC for giving us the opportunity to give back.
"The Keweenaw Outdoor Recreation Coalition was created in 2019 to bring together a variety of user groups with one shared goal: to protect the Keweenaw's vast landscapes for everyone, forever. Whether you bike, snowmobile, hunt, hike, or birdwatch, we need your help to make this vision a reality. Whether you are a powder hound on skis or a hunter that values well-managed and undeveloped forests, protecting the Keweenaw's at-risk landscapes is vital if we are to preserve our local traditions. The loss of lands owned by absentee investment firms affects us all. It is for this reason that we have united to stand up for our entire community. By bringing together groups under our umbrella, the Keweenaw Outdoor Recreation Coalition can speak with one voice to better advocate for our shared interests. " -KORC Become a member today!
