For Earth Day 2023, the Friends of the Badger and Sugar River trails organized a trail cleanup day.  

The Prairie Enthusiasts help maintain some original prairie trailside between Monroe and Monticello. Because of this we were aware of a particularly messy spot that had big trash requiring trucks and trailer. There were clothes dryers, a refrigerator, water heater, barrels, fence wire, etc.

Volunteers Frank Grenzow, Tom Mitchell, Ralph Henry, Rita and John Novak showed up and got the spot cleaned up. The items were hauled to Behr recycling for disposal and recycling.
