Hey everyone!  My family just moved to land we purchased near Rochester.  Our valley is beautiful.  However a problem around here is the lack of people wanting to use a trash service since it is not required.  My land was previously owned by one of those individuals.  The massive undertaking of cleaning it up is very daunting for my family.  As I broke my back last year and am still in recovery.  I would like to know if there are any permies out there who would be interested in assisting in the cleanup.  Thanks in advance!

It is disturbing that people are okay with using their own land like a landfill.  It makes me sick that people can look at this beautiful place and trash it with no regard for their actions.  If you have a passion to help the land, then please let me know.  I could use all the help I can get.

The trekking pole is just to show the amount of trash that is in a small area.  It is everywhere.  My husband and I have looked at each other and asked "why did we buy this..." 

The truth is that it is beautiful.  Huge trees of old and a beautiful valley  We have wild rosehip, blackberry, strawberry, and white huckleberry just to name a few.
