Please join Ali for this cleanup of Arcade Creek! We will continue to partner with Arcade Creek - Adopt A Creek Project to focus on another infamously trashed stretch of this 18-plus mile creek.
We will begin our cleanup behind the Sylvan Oaks Library and will park along Crosswoods Circle, near Vera Cruz Ct. From there, we will be removing litter and bulk items in the creek and along the top banks (some buried deep in the channel, some right on the surface). This cleanup location has some flat banks up top, but access down into the creek can be challenging and may require a rope to get into the channel. Depending on water level, we may be in waders.
Frequently, this is a wet section of the creek even in the summer, so we recommend high waterproof boots for the creek work. If not, we also need a crew working ropes up top on the very flat, accessible top banks.
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 likely be water in the creek in a few 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! 💚
