My wife and I spent the day at Ft. McRea today, floating and walking around. I've havn't walked around there in probably eight years. I can't believe how much trash, e.g. beer bottles, cans, food containers etc. there was littered all about. It was tough to see. How can people just leave their garbage everywhere. They have no respect for what is all of ours. I don't know about everyone else that visits there, but next time I go there I'm bringing a garbage bag and a telescopic grabber. If something isn't done, it will be a s*#thole.:hoppingmad

My mistake,

It's actually spelled Ft. McRee. Seems to be a common errror.

We pick up broken glass every time we go there (which is about every other weekend lately). It's a shame you have to tell the kids to watch out for broken glass when swimming....

Glass is a ticket if caught with it on the beach. You can drink from glass on your boat all day long. For some reason, I have not seen the park ranger out there much this year. Last year I would see them out on every weekend I was out there writting tickets for glass and dogs. I guess the budget cuts have left the park service with less money for the ATVs and patrols this year.

There is no sense for littering. Everyone should pick up after their selves. I went to the Camp today to cut grass & had to pick up bottles , cans & paper along the road, we do it in our neighbor hood ever so often. Please help...STOP Littering.

OK - I was out there a couple of weeks ago and noticed the same thing.



The PFF has already organized things like blood drives and has raised a lot of money for charities and stuff like that.



Why not have a PFF day and fill a couple of trash bags each? Wouldn't take long if we get a big crew.



Anybody in?

Iwas thinking the same thing...Could be a fun day with great food prepared by the forums best cooks (Ocean Man) and otherswhile the rest of us scoured the area removing trash...maybe theChunky Love Team would catch a shark for us all to enjoy.:clap How bout it Clay Doh and Team???

We have some of the most beautiful areas to play on with minimal regulation and some morons that can't pick up after themselves want to screw this up for us?!! I can promise that if I see a group leaving trash behind that I'll be speaking up. As for the last post I saw, I'd be willing to help pick up the trash but I'd be pretty damn bitter about it. Damn it!!! This is one of the last places in Florida that you can have a beer on the beach and shitheads are going to get the priveledge taken away. Maybe we need the GOVERNEMENT to PROTECT our resources.Weall love that don't we?

I really like the PFF Mcree Clean Up Day idea. Maybe we can have a "sticky" sign up sheet and plan it a month or two in advance so as many people as possible could come. We all spend lots of time out there and i know everyone has at least one good memory from that place. I think we could repay nature for all it has provided over the years by cleaning up after ourselves and others for one day. Just my two cents.

The sad thing is that the only way to get to Ft. McRee is by boat, which means that it would be hard to blame it on the low-life scum that trash out thepublic areas like quitewater and "chicken bone" beach that can be accessed for just a $1 toll.

I would be willing to bring a roll of garage bags and help out, but it would have to be on a weekend.
