ST. GEORGE — With a goal of removing everything from graffiti to trash, Washington County and its partners will host a public lands cleanup of Pioneer Park and the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve on Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon.
The cleanup was originally scheduled for Feb. 24 but was postponed due to inclement weather.
Participants are encouraged to meet near the pavilion at the middle entrance to Pioneer Park in downtown St. George to sign release waivers and receive supplies and instructions. Volunteers will also be invited to join the “Give Your Land a Hand” mailing list, named after the countywide campaign launched in November 2016.

The Washington County “Give Your Land a Hand” Public Lands Clean-Up committee will provide trash bags and other supplies. Participants are asked to bring their own gloves, water and snacks for the event and to wear protective clothing like boots, hats, long-sleeve shirts and long pants.

This is an excellent reason to stop the idea of a Northern Corridor that would go through the heart of the NCA/Reserve. If people are already creating trash/graffiti problems in the readily accessible areas, why would opening up more area for them be a good idea? The road would not solve our transportation problems but would add NCA/Reserve management problems. Also, the biggest cause of fires in the area is from human activities. A lot of fires come from I-15 activities. Adding a road through the NCA/Reserve will not be a positive for this county’s residents and taxpayers.
