RCWA - Steelhead Creek Weekly Cleanup
We will be working with a new contractor, paid for by the County of Sacramento. RCWA will be showing them how we do it. No one cleans creeks like us. Come out and show the “pros” how it is done. This large county contract could be a game changer for our creeks.
Be a part of history and join us.We are continuing our work with Friends of Steelhead Creek stewards Dr. Roland Brady and Crystal Tobias to clean this poor, trashed creek.We will meet at the southwest levee gate of Steelhead Creek at West El Camino, near where we have met before. We will then park nearby on the levee.Please come out and help with this project. We will provide bags, but please bring along your sturdy footwear, grabbers, buckets, gloves, and hats – a limited number of loaner buckets and grabbers may be available. Entry into the water 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 always says!Thank you!
