Trash and Camps in the Bush

I encourage you to download the OKFT app, and check out  https://okanaganforesttaskforce.com/

OKFT also has a Facebook page.

This volunteer group has removed more than 1.1 million pounds of metal and garbage from the back country since 2016. Leadership in this group has connections with the RCMP and Conservation.

When you see a garbage or camp scene, even without cell service, you can "pin" the location, upload photos and information, and the info will be sent to OKFT as soon as you are in cell service.

The squatters camp between 22 and 23 k McKinney is on the map, and OKFT is looking at a number of spots in the south Okanagan. I was contacted on the location of that camp, as the organizers tried to determine if that was one that had already been reported in the area.

If you find a small dump, and clean it up, it is helpful to pin it, then update that it has been cleaned up.
