On May 30, 2009, the U.S. Forest Service presented the 2nd annual Spring Mountains National Recreation Area "Spring Cleaning". Two hundred sixty seven volunteers cleaned up 16 recreation sites in Lee and Kyle canyons. Volunteers cleaned up a total of 4310 pounds of litter which occupied 56 cubic yards. In addition to the sense of satisfaction they received from their stewardship efforts, volunteers enjoyed a barbeque sponsored by Whole Foods, live music, art, an educational expo, and a giant raffle prize giveaway.
