17-Mile Shooting Area Cleanup

Volunteers can help clean up the 17-Mile Recreation Area north of Billings during work days on Sept. 16 and 17 from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Volunteers are asked to bring a rake, bucket, gloves and lunch.
The BLM will close the area to all shooting for approximately two weeks to complete the clean-up and then proposes to develop governing use of the area, including acceptable targets and prohibiting all night use of the area. The shooting area will remain closed until the site is entirely cleaned.
Additional information is available at http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2006/09/07/features/outdoors/35-cleanup.txt or by contacting the local BLM Field Office, 5001 Southgate Drive, (406) 896-5013.

It would be great if a bunch of our guys pitched in.
