Two sites were cleared of old refrigerators, other appliances, and bottles and cans by 17 hardworking volunteers who came from nearby cabins along Kingston Road in Sproul State Forest on May 12, 2001.
Together, the members of the Pennsylvania State Camp Lessees' Association contributed more than 100 hours, working late into the day to winch the old appliances and furniture up a hillside, despite a light rain early in the morning. Their efforts resulted in the proper disposal of more than three tons of trash that had been dumped along a two-mile section of the roadway many years ago. They also cleaned a site off Oak Ridge Road, located nearby.
In addition to the camp owners, others who made the cleanup successful included Condo's Welding of Mill Hall, providing a skidloader, Martin Motor Company of Mill Hall, donating a rollback truck with a winch; L. W. Peters Disposal of Lock Haven, donating a 30-yard rolloff container; Sheetz Inc. of Mill Hall, providing lunch; Croda Inc. of Mill Hall, donating garbage bags and gloves; and Colebrook Township, contributing the use of their community building facilities in Farrandsville. Sproul State Forest employees supplied two dump trucks.
Sproul State Forest is located in western Clinton and northern Centre counties, containing 280,000 acres of forestland. The forest is named in honor of William C. Sproul, governor of Pennsylvania from 1919 to 1923.
