There is a severe problem facing the Eel River, which runs through one of the most majestic areas of North America, the Redwood Forest in Southern Humboldt county. There are thousands of TONS of garbage, littering the banks, covering the life sustaining soil, left by uncaring people. The Eel River Clean Up Crew is putting their own money and time into cleaning it up, but they need help. The local government refuses to lend any kins of assistance.
