We are creative thinkers and ethical roamers who love the outdoors. In order for us to continue to explore, observe and immerse ourselves in unspoiled nature, we need to protect it. Unfortunately some people don't care for the environment as much as we do. We pledged ourselves to clean up after others and leave the woods better than we found them.
THE SPRUCEUP PROJECT
The fabulous forest cleanup crew
We have been collecting small bits of litter for many years. Since the start of this project in August of 2020, we have picked up and packed out countless glass bottles and 37 trash bags full of garbage.
join the quest
If you are inspired and want to join us, follow these simple instructions:
Hike out into the forest, put your hand on a spruce tree and take this vow –
I respect this space and solemnly swear, to leave these woods a better place!
don't pass the trash
The next time you are outside, remove all the trash you can find and carry. Pick it up, pack it out and put it in a garbage bin, where it belongs. It might be a challenge, but if you don't accept the responsibilty no one else will.
Be the plastic pickin' hero we all need!
minimize your waste in your daily life
Simplified: Our garbage gets either buried, burned or shipped overseas. In some form or another, everything we throw away will eventually end up in a landfill, in our atmosphere, in a ditch or in the sea. In some way or another all our waste is destroying and polluting natural habitats.
Don't let your waste have a negative impact on the natural environment for hundreds or thousands of years.
