East Otto State Forest Trash Pack Out New York BHA / Monday, September 16, 2024 / Categories: Media, Chapter News On August 18th, Western NY BHA members got together on East Otto State Forest for a public land trash pack-out. Members collected two pickup trucks worth of trash from camp sites and ditches along Kiedeman Forest Road and Traffic Street before finishing the day with some dogs, burgers and chatter about the upcoming hunting seasons. We barely made a dent though, folks! Keep an eye out for our next pack-out where we'll bring some more tools and really tackle "the range" where other public landowners have been getting ready for gun season for years... and not cleaning up after themselves.
