Please join Ali and crew as we return to Arcade Creek near American River College to continue our post-winter Maintenance progress, working upstream. We will begin our cleanup at the Winding Way bridge near the ARC stadium. We will park on the east side of the south ARC parking lot (nearest that bridge), then cautiously walk to our cleanup spot. From there, we will follow the trash, removing litter and bulk items both in the creek and adjacent thereto. This cleanup location has some challenging access spots into the creek and may require a rope to get into the channel, however, there are some flat spots as well for easy pickin’. Waders will be helpful.
We will continue to partner with Arcade Creek - Adopt A Creek Project to focus on another infamously trashed stretch of this 17-plus mile creek.
Please bring water and only do what you are comfortable doing. As always, you can leave whenever you want or need.
The event will range in difficulty from moderate to hard and may not be suitable for children under the age of 14. All minors must be supervised by a responsible adult.
We will provide bags, but please bring along your sturdy footwear, grabbers, buckets, and gloves - a limited number of loaner buckets and grabbers may be available. There will be water in the creek in some sections. Participants will be required to wear rain boots or waders if they intend to get into the water. Entry into any waters is always optional.
As with all events shared on our Page, participation is performed solely at your own risk. Please place safety FIRST and do only what you feel comfortable doing. Moreover, participants will be required to sign a Release and Waiver form if they have not done so previously.
Overall, be safe, have fun and get some “Exercise with a Purpose”!, as Bill Templin says. Thank you! 💚
