Rule Ridge Cleanup

Please Sign Up on the Event Sign Up page

Rule Ridge is the OHV Riding & Dispersed Camping Area north of Divide. It use to be a problem area that needed regular attention each year, but due to the public taking responsibility we have not had to do even maintenance cleanups since 2019. Unfortunately, it does finally need some love of the areas surrounding the campsites and on each side of the main roads.. The roads are dirt but in great condition and high clearance vehicles will not be necessary. If you have OHVs feel free to bring them to both scout the more remote trails and to just have some fun. We also encourage you to camp in the area as there are lots of FREE sites to enjoy.

We welcome and need additional volunteers, but ask that if anyone is joining you to have them shoot us an email so that we can make sure to have enough supplies, food and t-shirts for everyone.  If they decide to come last minute that is ok as well as we do plan for a few extras.  To save time in the morning, we request that you review the waiver form on our website in advance, but we will have copies at sign in as well.

SIGN IN & SAFETY BRIEFING:  9:00am at Base Camp

LUNCH:  PROVIDED @ NOON will be Chili Dog Bar and all the fixin’s & ice cream sundaes for dessert.

BRING:  Refillable water bottle, gloves, wear sunscreen, a coat, long pants & STURDY shoes/boots

We are also working on reducing the use of cups & water bottles so we ask that you bring a refillable water bottle.  We will have water to refill them and make drinks at lunch.  If you do not have one, we will have bottles of water that can be labeled and reused for the day.

PROVIDED:  FoF Tshirt,, water, gloves (if needed), grabbers, trash bags

BASE CAMP – Will be on FS Rd 357M, right on FS Rd 357. We will have the equipment out and the banner up so you won’t be able to miss us.
