Ed Ruland Desert Cleanup to be held Saturday

Throughout his life, few sights were more upsetting to Ed Ruland than that of broken bottles, cigarettes, plastic bags and other trash littering the northern desert of the Grand Valley.
For years, Ruland and a small group of friends dedicated some of their free time to cleaning the land. Two days a week, Ruland would be joined by Bob Shirley and Lowell Stratton, sweltering under the Western Slope sun to sustain their beloved public lands.
Ruland’s passion for the region never wavered, all the way until his death in 2015. Since then, the Western Slope ATV Association (WSATVA), of which Ruland was a member, has carried his torch in the name of preserving the northern desert.
