Education Program

The long-range key to preventing future illegal dumpsites is to engage and educate citizens of the dangers and effects of illegal dumping and teach them to become good stewards of their public land legacy. Clean Forest Project achieves this goal by going into area schools and delivering an interactive presentation or by deploying the Education Booth at community events. With the help of Brady Bear and the Litter bug, Clean Forest Project mascots,  we spread the message of protecting our public lands and the importance of properly disposing of one’s own garbage. Brady Bear and The Litter Bug are involved in contests among grade school children and work with high school kids in helping us locate and document dumpsites. Both mascots are the main characters in our comic booklet "The Litter Bug Learns a Litter Lesson". For a free comic, visit our contact page or to print out a Brady Bear Coloring sheet, click here
