Crews clean up in wake of Rainbow Family Gathering
Fox 13 News - Salt Lake City, Utah

"Today the Forest Service showed us how well the Rainbow Family Cleanup Crews did at cleaning up the area"

"There were folks sorting it so it could be recycled and taken to recycling centers. And all the garbage has been removed. There's actually less garbage here than when it started."

"In addition to taking out all they had brought in the Forest Service said the Rainbow Crews did a lot of work to rehab the 1300 acres of land they were camping on.

When I was out here, I saw folks with rakes that were going along, raking the trails, fluffing it back up... I think it's rebounded QUITE WELL as far as vegetation."

"They did what they said they would do.
They cleaned up after themselves.
They left the area in as good of a condition as it could be."


"You cannot tell they were actually even out here, in some areas."

"And the forest service says, after examining the area, they don't see any need for them to come up here and do ANY other work."
