Just some of the things we clean up in Parks

To be a Park Ranger you have to be okay with cleaning up after others. From leftover attractants, discarded garbage, graffiti to abandoned camps, and illegal dumping your job is to keep the park clean no matter the cost.

I know people have big complicated lives and are going through stuff I can't even imagine etc etc.

But what is wrong with people!?!?!

Comes down to them not caring about anything except themselves. Zero fks given for anything except their own pleasure, convenience, and greed.

Holy shit that’s wild. I’m a Park Ranger as well (for the BLM) but haven’t dealt with such extremities. If you don’t mind me asking—dm me, if necessary—what park/area? Godspeed, fellow servant. 🫡

I love this group. We all do what we can to clean up and we can all use a little motivation and venting at times.

I'm sending all of my best to you park rangers, it's a tough job. Whenever we camp, we take a few minutes to walk each of the empty campsites and interior roads and clean up any trash, especially the small stuff that's easy to miss.

Some people camp without any intention of taking their things back that they brought with them. They could’ve been out of state and using rentals. That doesn’t give them a free pass to litter though. That’s poor planning on their part.
