Give trash a second chance. Turn normal trash into works of art. Our rangers will help you take everyday trash and make it into something worth cherishing. Clean, non-recyclable trash and art supplies will be provided to help you with your masterpiece. If there is a "special" piece you may have found along the way, bring it along and incorporate it into your treasure.
