Volunteers help with Kenai National Wildlife Refuge Clean-up Day

Kenai National Wildlife Refuge staff were joined by community partners in removing the winter's accumulation of litter along dozens of miles of Refuge roads Friday May 9.  Clean-up was completed near the Visitor Contact Station and Jean Lake pullout along the Sterling Highway, Ski Hill Road near the Refuge Headquarters, Skilak Lake Road and campgrounds, Moose Range Meadows area, Funny River Road, and Swanson River Road and campgrounds.  Approximately 500 pounds of litter was collected.  The event was covered by local media and food was donated by the Kenai Refuge Employee's Association and Alaska Geographic to those who participated.
