To participate, you MUST:
- Wear thick-soled shoes
- Bring plenty of water
- Dress for the weather
Runs tend to last approximately 3 hours. Volunteers who can bring trucks and/or trailers are always greatly appreciated, but neither is required. Trails are dusty, and can get rough. Know the capabilities of your vehicle. Trash piles can contain many hazards, such as nails, broken glass, needles, and venomous wildlife. Always pay attention to where you stand, and where you put your hands.
Community service volunteers welcome.

Fernley Pigs September cleanup
This is another big one. We need as many people trucks and trailers as we can get.
No special vehicles or tools required but as many trucks and trailers we can get would be helpful.

25th Annual Fernley Swales cleanup (Public Lands Day)
This is not a pig event but we have been a part of it for the past few years. Unfortunately since the passing of Jon Nowlin, things have started to get difficult to keep this event going strong.
The main players are still OCTA and trails West with us pigs trying to do everything we can.
Unfortunately this year BLM has backed out so that leaves even more resting in our laps.
So this event is more than just a normal desert cleanup – this is a cleanup to preserve history for the local our area.
There will be more info to come.
