RCWA - American River Cleanup
Come out and help Michael Tscheu clean up his adopted spot. Michael is proud to report that the entire area between Watt Ave and Howe Ave river access parking lots is all RCWA clean. He spent 3 days last week collecting almost 700 pounds of trash from these neighborhood river trails.Michael needs our help again clean the area from Howe Ave to CSUS. Unfortunately, several of the same camps we have cleaned before are now trashed again. It is encouraging that almost all the camps in the entire area are gone, but trash remains. Let’s go out and help Michael.Meet at Howe Ave river access. Parking passes will be available.This is a relaxed to challenging level cleanup with plenty of easy areas nearby. Something for everyone in this beautiful section of the river. 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.
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”!

It’s another SPIU/Sacramento Splash cleanup at our area’s precious Vernal Pools, where Sacramento Splash leads public tours!Join us from 10am-noon on Saturday February 24th!
We’ll remove illegally dumped trash from these otherwise protected and vital seasonally ephemeral pools that are home to a wide variety of flora and fauna, including endemic flowers, insects and creatures!BRING: gloves & grabbers & buckets if you have them (we will supply them if not!). We have industrial garbage bags for all.
TERRAIN: mostly flat with some uneven terrain in the grassy areas near the pools. We’ll also clean up trash found on or near the road.LOCATION:The vernal pools are located NEAR BUT NOT AT Mather Regional Park, located off Highway 50 east of Sacramento.
From HWY 50, take the Zinfandel Dr exit towards Mather Lake but keep driving on Zinfandel until it turns into Eagles Nest Rd.
Keep driving down Eagles Nest Rd until it TURNS FROM A PAVED ROAD INTO A DIRT ROAD and park anywhere around there!All volunteer activity is performed at your own risk, as always!
