(my bad on the lateness, thought this was posted earlier)
Smith & Wesson and the Connecticut River Watershed Council
National Public Lands Clean Up Day
Saturday, Oct 4th
Bring pickups, jeeps with trailers or ATVs with trailers.
there will be a cookout to feed volunteers for lunch and all volunteers are entered in a raffle to win a S&W Sigma40 pistol, even if you arent an employee.. i just double checked to be sure.
Background:
last year and earlier in 08 i fought and fought to get a permit from masswildlife for groups like us to enter and clean wildlife management areas (WMAs) .. and was denied on the grounds that they would not allow modified 4x4 vehicles into a WMA under any circumstance..
HOWEVER.. Smith and Wesson was the one group that had been allowed to do this, and since I work there, i found out it took some considerable political muscle to get this permission. Well, they are doing it again, and are looking for volunteers.
This would be a very rare and exceptional opportunity for the 4x4 organizations to make some big friends, as well as show this green council that we arent all bad.
i need to know who is showing as a definate in order to give an accurate headcount for the food. please disseminate to youre clubs, anyone definately committed can email me at
