ELKHART, Ind. - THOR Industries, Inc., the world’s largest recreational vehicle (RV) manufacturer, and Kampgrounds of America (KOA) hold a sweepstakes that will push the first-ever Pick Up America campaign to get more participants. Currently, over 130 tons of garbage have been committed to be removed from public lands since May, thanks to this campaign.
According to a press release, Pick Up America participants quickly rallied to make the program exceed its original fifty-ton goal by 273 percent. This multi-year joint endeavor will help the country’s stunning public lands stay beautiful for future campers. “On our most recent kayak trip down the Pigeon River in LaGrance Co., Ind., we were invigorated as we dug in our oars to get some trash out of the shoreline and lily pads. Joining this initiative was easy because we love camping in our Sunset Trail, KOA Campgrounds and the great outdoors!” said Brandy Gleason, creator of RV and family travel blog Gleason Family Adventure.
