BIG BEND NATIONAL PARK UPDATE!
We've been informed by the park superintendent, Bob Krumenaker, that trash is being picked up in the Chisos Basin by Forever Resorts, the folks who run concessions. Thank you to them! We are also in talks with other groups in the Big Bend region, @basecampterlingua and the Brewster County Tourism Council, to organize volunteer groups to help pick up trash throughout the park. The superintendent is confident that a plan will be approved by the acting Secretary of the Interior to take unused park entry fees to pay for trash pick up and custodial services. That decision should be coming soon! Thank you to our awesome Big Bend Community for making sure our Park remains open and clean for visitors! 
It's always a good plan to pack out everything you bring in and help pick up trash while you visit Big Bend.  We will continue to keep you posted.
Additionally, because the park is not collecting entrance fees, we are encouraging people to make donations to The Big Bend conservancy at http://www.bigbendfriends.org/support
