Lew, Terry, Paul, Dave and I cleaned up garbage in the Chilliwack River Valley today.
It was left over from a weekend grad party, very disappointing to see the next generation treat our precious environment this way. We took 160 kg to the land fill. I think I will send some of the pictures to the school.

Also you can imagine what else was left behind in the surrounding bushes.

[Dave]

For the record I was not the Dave.  My guess it was Dave Lamson - and kudos to all of you for cleaning up this mess!
Chris, I saw some of the things you mentioned when we were up there the other day, looking at the proposed gravel pit site  - didn't know condoms came  (sorry) in those colours ...
The kids were from a school in Port Coquitlam and I hope the Principal of said school is informed.

It's a good start; but ultimately who raises this kids? Coyotes?

I guess the RCMP are too busy handing out easy speeding tickets near Hope to enforce actually difficult laws.

There was an RCMP roadblock on Chilliwack Lake Road this morning, attempting to head off more of the anticipated partiers this weekend.  It's great to see this increased level of police officers here and hope this will be a regular occurance this summer.

Have to agree with those that say the offending party goers should be make to go back to the mess they made and clean it up. All they learned at this point, is that they can party and leave their garbage behind and someone else will go back and clean it up for them.

Did it happen during school hours or at an official school function?

School officials are not the police.

Posting these for Chris.

A HUGE KUDOS to the three river elves for their time and efforts.  Some peoples parents should get smacked for not teaching their kids right.

Lots of guests viewing this thread these days, hopefully they are some young people and others who will think twice about leaving a mess in the Chilliwack River Valley or for that matter anywhere while out celebrating their graduation or just camping in our beautiful outdoors here in British Columbia.

I know it is a very exciting time for those that have spent the last 12 years going to school and the hard work involved to reach their goal of graduation.  You are now entering adulthood, in this stage of life your responsibility also increases, that includes looking after our environment, hopefully you will do a better job than some generations before you have.

Best wishes to all that may be reading this thread and are indeed graduating this year, I wish you all the best for a successful career and life.

We were told by the park rangers to leave the garbage in a pile and they would come and pick it up.

Also, "some generations before us". That would be you...  Thanks for the Global Warming

[Dave]

Your'e welcome
Sounds like you were involved in this sorry mess.  If so, why did you need to be told to pick up your garbage?

[Coyote]

We werent TOLD to clean up our mess.
We talked to the park ranger about it and we did exactly what he told us to do.
