Our goal for the education component of this project is to provide information to the community about illegal dumping, and why it should be prevented. This website, as well as our final report, will provide this information.

Down by the Riverside, a statewide program to promote community involvement, helped clean 2,860 lbs of trash off public lands. This event was organized by a partnership of individuals from the Middle Fork of the Willamette Watershed Council, the SLP Program, US Forest Service, Army Corps of Engineers, and Oregon State Parks.

Most sites cleaned had been designated as illegal dump sites by the SLP Team as part of this project.
