Camp Pollock, 1501 Northgate Blvd., Sacramento, CA

We are continuing our cleanup of this area by hiking over to the Steelhead Creek area, by the bike trail. This is where we left off during Deborah’s Riverdale Cleanups. There are several abandoned flooded camps to clean up. This will be the start to our new Steelhead cleanup with Roland Brady, ARPF Mile Steward for Steelhead Creek. Watch for several future cleanups nearby.
Parking is free at Camp Pollock and the cleanup sites are fairly close with level terrain. This is an easy to moderate level cleanup. We will continue to work with CoParks to remove our piles.

Please come out and help with this project.

As with all events shared on 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!💚

Discovery Park Archery Range

This event is for 16+ years old only.

Free parking passes will be available at the archery range parking lot. If the attendant is at the entrance booth, tell them you are here for the cleanup. These cleanups will target large abandoned camps with loads of trash. Sturdy shoes/boots and long sleeves and long pants are recommended because of thick bramble and poison oak. This will be a medium level event with a moderate walk.
RCWA will provide bags, but please bring along your grabbers, buckets, and gloves – a limited number of loaner buckets and grabbers may be available.

5400 Hackberry Lane, Sacramento, CA

RCWA is partnering with Arcade Creek – Adopt A Creek Project to continue our focus on this trashed stretch of this 16.2 mile creek.

We will be starting a little earlier due to the heat. Please bring lots of WATER and only do what you are comfortable doing.

We will begin our cleanup at the end of Chris Ann Court and will be removing litter and bulk items in the creek and along both sides of the 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.

Please park on the west side of Hackberry Lane, just outside of Chris Ann Court.

The event will range in difficulty from moderate to hard and may not be suitable for children under the age of 16. There will be something for almost everyone as we will be cleaning in the creek and up above, on land.

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. If there is water in the creek, 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.

Arcade Creek Adopt-A-Creek Project

WE ARE BACK!! Time to get busy in Elk Grove and tackle some exposed trash and camp debris along the Laguna Creek floodplain.
The grazers have cleared the dry grasses west of Bruceville and will hopefully be through munching eastward.

Please park at the Wackford complex closest to Big Horn and look for our cones and table.

Depending on numbers we can spread out to get it all cleared!
There will be a variety of levels from slopes to flat trails to roadside ditches, as well as different types of trash.

New to cleanups? Please arrive 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!
