Water pollution primarily comes from residents and you
are the most important solution to stormwater pollution.
Learn how you can help prevent stormwater pollution
and improve our community.
Mercury is very toxic to people and wildlife, and some of its uses have resulted in widespread contamination of the environment. Let’s work together to protect and enhance the quality of life in our neighborhoods and throughout the community for our enjoyment now…and for our children’s enjoyment in the future.
Using less or non-toxic alternatives in your garden is important for a healthy garden, the beneficial bugs, our waterways, and our ecosystem. Let’s work together to protect and enhance the quality of life in our neighborhoods and throughout the community for our enjoyment now…and for our children’s enjoyment in the future.
When pet waste is improperly disposed of, it can be picked up by stormwater runoff and washed into storm drains then directly to the river without being treated. Let’s work together to protect and enhance the quality of life in our neighborhoods and throughout the community for our enjoyment now…and for our children’s enjoyment in the future.
Litter from sidewalks, streets, parking lots, and nature areas eventually find its way into our rivers. Let’s work together to protect and enhance the quality of life in our neighborhoods and throughout the community for our enjoyment now…and for our children’s enjoyment in the future.

Hooray! It’s finally dry enough to return and finish the drainage zone adjacent to the railroad tracks, both north and south of Elk Grove Blvd. Best place to park is the lot behind 9052 Elk Grove Boulevard. It’s a little tricky getting there, so please use Google maps to see where it is. You can also park along Elk Grove Boulevard. Wagons or wheelbarrows will be useful, and there’s a possibility we might be able to get a truck into a portion of the area to transport the trash where it can be easily picked up. We will also encourage cleanup of the alley, the main road, and other areas nearby. Mud boots might still be useful as there are a few puddles. Elk Grove is worth the work! New to cleanups? Please arrive 15 minutes early to get signed in and get gear. If you have supplies, please bring your own gloves, buckets, bags, but we have items for you. Buckets, gloves, grabbers, vests, bags. Please wear appropriate clothing, boots 🥾 or closed-toe shoes, sunscreen, hats, and bring your own water. All cleanups are done at your own risk, but safety first! Our trash safety talk starts promptly at 9:00 am. See you soon!! Let’s Clean Elk Grove together!

We will return to this area again to hike on rocky terrain, on small trails through the old dredge tailings where we will continue to discover dozens of small abandoned camps and lots of trash, on the surface and buried under the soil. A GeoTrash map will be available for those who have Google Maps. There will be plenty of trash to be found with or without the map. Free parking. We will focus on areas where no one else will go, but there will also be plenty of easy trash for those unable to brave the rocks. There should be something for everyone. This will be an easy to difficult level event with a moderate walk. 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. 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 could also be handy. Participants will be required to wear rain boots or waders if they intend to enter any streams or rivers. 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.

2025.03.05
[Meeting Spot is Sacramento Horsemen’s Association, 3200 Longview Dr, Sacramento, CA 9582] In early observance of this year’s Earth Day activities, RCWA is once again partnering with the City of Sacramento, Arcade Creek Adopt-A-Creek Project, Sacramento Area Creeks Council and the Sacramento Horsemen’s Association to clean Arcade Creek through Del Paso Regional Park. This promises to be another fantastic event you will not want to miss! 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 (“Arcade Creek at Del Paso Regional Park”). More information will be provided for this requirement at a later date. 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): rain boots or waders – there will be water in the creek. 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!
