Calendar

We will be returning to Copper Creek for another much-needed cleanup. This tributary flows, unabated, into Arcade Creek and is filled with trash that lines the bottom of the channel, polluting waterways downstream.
We plan to clean the north side of this area, above Garfield Ave. The area is a dry oak grove and grassy area that has several active and abandoned encampments. Lots of loose trash and bulk times in this location. Boots are recommended and waders will not be needed for this cleanup.
Please park in the Quiznos parking lot on the southeast corner of Greenback Lane & Garfield Avenue. We will gather our items and cross the street at the light.
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 water and only do what you are comfortable doing. As always, you can leave whenever you want or need. This cleanup location has easy access and many flat spots for easy pickings.
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. There will be water in the creek in many some spots. 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! 💚

Event Details
The hoary squash bee may look similar to a honey bee, but it is quite a bit different! This native bee is the primary pollinator of #squash, #pumpkins, and other gourds in North America. On November 25, come learn from Dr. Susan Willis Chan about the importance and biology of this bee, and how you can protect it when managing pests in your crop!

Dry Creek Conservancy will be conducting a salmon count and we would love to have some RCWA volunteers help! Please read the description and instructions to register in the event post. You will need to email or text to reserve a spot. Looking forward to seeing some of you there!

Due to heavy rain forecasted over the next week/weekend, we are postponing our first salmon survey of the season by one week to November 30.
We will monitor the forecast and confirm the survey date next week. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Please meet in the back of the parking lot of the Regal UA Olympus Pointe Movie Theatre in Roseville (aka Miner’s Ravine Trailhead).
Untrained volunteers will be placed into a group with a trained volunteer. Groups will walk/wade upstream along a section of the Dry Creek watershed, roughly 1-2 miles each.
Volunteers should have their own waders (chest-high), although we do have loaners available upon pre-request. Young people, ages 13 to 17, are welcome but must be accompanied by a legal guardian and all volunteers will need to sign a waiver form.
