Durr Road clean-up

“Working Today For Tomorrow’s Wildlife”

Our next clean-up day: April 18th, 2026 starting @ 9am

Food and Drinks are provided, along with a porta-potty on site.

We are proud to have kept Durr Road clean since 1999.

We started the Durr Road Clean-up in 1999. This land is part of the WFDW Wenas Wildlife Area. They recently developed this area for target practice for the public with shooting benches, berms, and parking areas. Prior to 2025, people were randomly target-shooting and dumping trash. The club’s annual clean-up averages about 2 tons of trash every year, but with continuing maintenance and education we hope someday this cleanup becomes obsolete!

When we started:

1999 – we did our first ever Durr Road clean up to be able to continue to use that area.

2003 – we completed the second clean-up event, by removing trash.

2004 – completed third event for Durr road clean up and collected 2 tons of trash.

2005 – the fourth clean-up event we collected 2 tons of trash again, show’s this is a needed service to the community.
