We are returning to this section of Brooktree Creek for the first time since January for a much needed Mop Up. Winter flows after we last visited flushed in some new trash and debris, but mostly exposed legacy items that evaded us during prior visits. Prizes include a tent, full-size mattress, lots of textiles, a couple of tires, bicycle parts and much more!
AGE LIMIT: This event is not suitable for minors under 14 years old. Minors older than 14 are invited, but must be supervised by a responsible adult during the entire event.
Please bring along lots of fluids for hydration and only do what you are comfortable doing. As always, you can leave whenever you want or need. 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 pickings. If we make it far enough, we could encounter some water the creek, therefore, waterproof boots are recommended. There will be hauling involved for those who are looking for a nice workout.
We will provide bags, but please bring along your sturdy waterproof footwear, grabbers, buckets, and gloves - a limited number of loaner buckets and grabbers may be available. If you have a cultivator or shovel, those will also be handy. Participants will be required to wear rain boots or waders if they intend to get into the water, if any. 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! 💚
