Members of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity at the University of Oregon allegedly trashed the Shasta Trinity National Forest on the weekend of May 21 while partying.
A spokesperson for the California forest, Phyllis Swanson, says about 1,000 people were in the area of Slaughterhouse Island in Lake Shasta, along with 60 houseboats and some patio boats, according to the Willamette Week.
Swanson said the “tremendous amount of garbage and personal belongings that were just abandoned” had the greek letters from the fraternity and the University of Oregon labeled on some items.
Photos of the trash were posted on social media showing tents, coolers, bags, flip-flops, cases of beers, and black garbage bags scattered across the park.
