Forest Cleanup Event On Sunday

    The US Forest Service is inviting the public to join the Ocala National Forest Clean and Crawl event, scheduled for this coming Sunday, April 27. Volunteers are encouraged to meet at the Pittman Visitors Center on SR 19 north of Altoona to participate in the effort to help clean up full-size 4WD roads and trails of the forest.
   The event will run from 9 a.m. until noon.
   Gloves, trash bags, and some picker sticks will be provided, and volunteers are asked to bring closed-toe shoes, gloves, hat, sunscreen, bug spray, water, snacks, and picker sticks if you have your own.
