What saves our places to shoot on public land? Stewardship and Respect for Recreation.

This is one shooting lane in the Yacolt Burn State forest. Obviously, it has not seen respect, nor stewardship, all summer. We can do better!

Trash No Land

There are good places to shoot and there are bad places to shoot targets. Choose your place wisely. It is YOUR responsibility to assure NO ROUNDS LEAVE THE RANGE!

When you see trash at a place where people shoot targets, whether it's a legal place or not, please help clean it up. If it's an illegal place, then hopefully people won't think of shooting there if they don't see any evidence.

Trash breeds trash. It's unsightly and is not natural to the forest ("If it didn't grow there, it shouldn't be there!"). A trashy target shooting site makes gun owners look bad to all who visit the forest. It causes complaints to forest officials about shooters. It damages the environment of the area. It causes shooting spots to get closed. I don't like any of that. That's why I started the Trash No Land organization.

Note: With so much trash on our public lands, we need your help to save and protect our great outdoors. Do Random Acts of Cleanups when ever you visit! Additionally, join a group volunteer event to help!

A clean forest is a happy forest.
