Out of hundreds of applicants, the Grounds Keepers are chosen based on their passion for the outdoors, cleanup goals, commitment to DEI initiatives, and outdoor experience. In 2022, over 10,000 pounds of trash were packed out by hand.
Over 35,000 pounds of trash has been packed out from waterways, green spaces, popular campgrounds, remote stretches of trail, and city parks.
Since then, we have continued to be humbled and blown away by the work that the Grounds Keepers have done.
The inaugural 2017 team was compiled of 15 individuals who committed to thru-hiking various long trails from the PCT, AT, AZT, PNT, SHT and more. We’ve taken a major dose of inspiration from the Packing It Out Team, and through the creation of the Grounds Keepers Program we are supporting even more nature lovers who want to “Leave it Better” and pack out trash as they hike, paddle, and explore around the country.
