Hickel today hailed the Sponsors and participants in a new citizens’ drive to clean up littered recreation lands, dubbed the Johnny Horizon Countryside Clean-up Days. "This grass-roots volunteer movement is a most heartening demonstration that Americans really do care about the quality of their environment," he said. The countryside clean-up days, scheduled October 10-12, are named after the symbolic outdoorsman developed by Interior's Bureau of Land Management to represent thoughtful users of publicly owned lands. Delmer D. Vail, Manager ‘of the Folsom District of BLM said that several local areas will benefit from this cleanup. One area is the South Yuba River Recreation Lands in Nevada county. The second area is located along Clear Creek in the east part of San Benito county. The primary purpose of the campaign is to introduce Johnny Horizon to the public as well as to show what concerned citizens can accomplish.

"After it was first proposed in California last spring, recreationists in 11 other states have joined in the event. The American Federation of Mineralogical Societies has been instrumental in securing co-sponsors in other states", he said. "Such terms as ‘natural beauty’ and ‘environmental protection’ have become by-words in our vocabulary, but too many of us react only with mere words of protest when we see a littered and blighted landscape," Secretary Hickel added. "The sponsors of the Johnny Horizon Countryside Clean-up Days are showing their concern with deeds, and [highly commend them for their local action plans. "Recreation and land management agencies at all levels are working with very limited budgets, yet the cost of removing litter from our public lands, parks, and highways is now a staggering $500,000,000 yearly. With volunteer clean-up efforts such as this, we are very hopeful that part of that tremendous sum could instead be spent on developing badly needed facilities," he concluded. on Sierras at Davis campus DAVIS — A lecture series of interest to those who love the Sierra Nevada mountains will begin this week on the University of California Davis campus, under the auspices of University Extension. 3 The series, entitled The
