Out on public lands there are a lot of responsible target shooters who clean up after themselves. Unfortunately, there are some who don't. So some responsible folks have banded together into the group Trash No Land. They educate people about responsible target shooting and trash cleanup. And they host big cleanup days. Because cleaning up is more fun with friends. In my neck of the woods they host the annual Pick up the Burn.

How do you give back to our public lands?

That's great!  Its something that lots of us don't even think about, but it needs doing.
 
I'm thinking about a new battle cry. Maybe "Not in the face! Not in the face!" Any thoughts tiny ad?
