The 6th Annual Pristine Riders Fall Trash Crush community clean-up and environmental stewardship event is being held on Friday, September 12th from 10:00 AM-12:30 PM rain or shine meeting at North Star Nature Preserve’s South Gate parking lot. Walking or biking is encouraged. The event is hosted by Pristine Riders, a local 501c3 non-profit combining a passion for cycling and cleaning up the environment and Sun Dog Athletics “Aspen’s Adventure Sports School.” The volunteer litter clean-up along local roads and multi-use paths is an ideal way for locals who love our area to give back, while improving environmental health.
