MARION – The Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge in Marion is inviting you to grab an orange trash bag and some gloves and help clean up the Refuge on Saturday, Sept. 16 from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Refuge officials say waste is, unfortunately, a common issue on all public lands and Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge is no different.

While you’re out there, take some pictures and post them to Facebook with #CONWRcleanup.
