AUGUSTA — Maine forest rangers, as they did last year, are organizing a Landowner Appreciation Clean-up Day for Sept. 15.
The event has been set aside for those people who recreate outdoors in Maine to show their appreciation to landowners who allow free access to their land. Participants will help properly dispose of illegally discarded items at dump sites and discourage further dumping on these sites.
“Our Landowner Appreciation Clean-up Day held last year was very successful, and a lot of work was accomplished, for which landowners were very appreciative,” regional Ranger Jeff Currier, Maine Forest Service Incident Management Team commander, said in a news release.
MFS will supply trucks and trash bags to haul away the discarded materials to nearby transfer stations. Many of those transfer stations have offered to waive fees for these materials.
