What to Know About Cleanups:<\/strong> Please note that cleanup activities should be limited to official events organized by the groups on this website. Some of the human artifacts in the North Woods are related to historical sites, and can reveal key information about the past. When in doubt, leave something as you found it. Actual trash can be removed at a later date, but once a piece of evidence (such as a bottle, can, or ceramic shard) has been taken out of a site, it loses connection as a piece of North Woods history.  If you\u2019d like to organize or participate in a cleanup event, reach out to the North Woods Hiking and Conservation Club at northwoodshc@rhodysenate.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
