Arcade Creek running by Stock Ranch Nature Preserve needs some SPIU love. The creek is lined with trash trees and clogged with trash dams. There are multiple shopping carts and tires to be extracted. Pallets as well.

The creek top rim has uneven ground with thick brush. Watch out for poison oak. The trash is in the sandy creek bed and in trees/bushes that line the creek. There are many down tree trunks in the creek that you may need to climb over or under. Waders are recommended. Although, some spots may be reached with boots.

Bags will be provided. Please bring grabbers, gloves, buckets, rubber boots, waders, rope, cultivators, and vests.

Plenty of easy safe parking near the site. Please park on the side of home at 7452 Hespera Way, Citrus Heights.

This is a level 4+ cleanup event on a part of the river that gets little foot traffic other than fisherman. Terrain is steep hillside, wild riverbank and slippery rocks. There is some wading involved and thick underbrush in some areas. There are some limited trails along the water, but waders or really tall boots will be needed to navigate the bank.

There is ample street parking available right by the easement/trail we’ll use to access the river.

The plan is to gather, bag and stack what we can find by the river for pickup by boat the next day.
