Green Lake family cleans up illegal dumpsite

The Green Lake area is a little cleaner now thanks to Aaron Burwell and his family. A lifelong Green Lake resident and the owner of Wilderness Custom Homes, Burwell has spent his life living, working and recreating in the backcountry around Green Lake. During that time, he has watched, with disgust, as illegal dumpsites have grown in number and size. Earlier this month, he finally got fed up enough to do something about it. “It was starting to piss me off because it was getting bigger and bigger,” Burwell said. “I was just tired of seeing people dump (stuff) everywhere out here. Everywhere we go riding, there are illegal dump sites.” Burwell explained that he enjoys spending his weekends with his family either quadding, dirt biking, hunting or snowmobiling in the forest surrounding Green Lake. As a result, he said he has found the growing amount of garbage left in the bush disheartening.
