The event allows community members to dispose of garbage and green waste. Residential waste only will be accepted on these days. No overnight dumping will be allowed.

Herring, who grew up roaming the outdoors in the South and then the West, says, “The idea of public lands wasn’t re- ally in our vocabulary. But the scale of the freedom — we understood that ... so there is a very personal blood stake in this game for me.” In his younger days, Herring parlayedhis love of hunting, fishing and climbing Please see Struggle, B-3 FOR A assemble LOOKING WORKSPACE?
