Meeting Spot is Sacramento Horsemen's Association, 3200 Longview Dr, Sacramento, CA 9582. Please proceed through the grounds and park in the pasture/field just west of the stables and arena (same location as our Earth Day event in April).
As we continue to "connect the dots" in upper Arcade Creek, we will start with 200-300 feet of untouched creek, then transition into Mop-Up mode as we proceed upstream past the SHA grounds. While we covered this stretch during our amazingly successful Earth Day events the past 2 years, the creek is now dry, allowing us to really scour the bottom.
This area is full of natural filters that have stopped a substantial amount of trash from being swept downstream and into the Delta and beyond. But that leaves a lot of cleanup work to rid this beautiful parkway of the resulting debris fields of trash.
This event will range in difficulty from easy to difficult, with some pretty easy pickins' around the flat grassy parkway.
AGE LIMIT: This event is not suitable for minors under 12 years old. Minors older than 12 are invited, but must be supervised by a responsible adult during the entire event.
1) If you plan to attend, please click "Going". This will ensure enough food is provided for the event and help us prepare strategically (parking, cleanup sites, equipment, etc.)
2) Register with the City.

RCWA 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. Recommended (but not required): shovels, cultivators, rope and hay hooks.
As with all events shared by RCWA, 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 always says!
Thank you!💚
