Calendar

The last set of storms inundated scores of camps along Steelhead Creek, inside the levee flood protection zone. All of these camps were upstream from the tremendous, backbreaking work performed by RCWA volunteers and the ACTenviro team earlier this year. While we cannot erase the damage done, we will be working diligently to mitigate further damage before the next storms. Please come out and help with this very important project.
The work site will be on the WEST bank of Steelhead Creek. We will meet at the levee gate on the WEST side of Steelhead Creek. PLEASE be on time (early ok) since we have to lock the gate behind us. At 9:00 am SHARP, we will caravan to the cleanup site. Late comers will not be accommodated. Folks that might need to leave early are welcome.
Our great partners at Reclamation District 1000 have agreed to haul off all trash and debris removed by volunteers!
The event will range in difficulty from easy to advanced and is not suitable for children under the age of 16. There will be plenty of hard-core badgering (digging out the big stuff), but also lots of easy detail work along the flat floodplain above the creek. 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. As there is water in the creek and side channels, 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.
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 says.
Thank you!💚
