Volunteers will clean up litter from a section of Coal Creek. This project is a series of projects to clean up litter from OSMP riparian areas. Litter is fatal to wildlife on OSMP. Leaving litter with food smells (e.g. pizza boxes, sports bars, or gum wrappers) causes bears to stop fearing humans and increases conflict, ultimately leading to those animals having to be euthanized. Songbirds and raptors digestive tracks cannot process litter which causes death – ultimately decreasing populations. Birds get tangled in discarded fishing lines or hooks. Please pass on the importance of disposing of litter in waste bins or pack it out by following the basic Leave No Trace ethics when recreating.
