Calendar

We will meet at 2150 Gateway Oaks due to possible muddy/wet road conditions, but might also be able to carpool over to a closer spot upon arrival.

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.

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!

We will continue to partner with Arcade Creek – Adopt A Creek Project to focus on another infamously trashed stretch of this 16.2 mile creek. We will meet at a new location (Herzog’s), and will work upstream towards Hidden Oaks Apartments where we have already performed 11 cleanups this year.

We will park in the back of the complex and walk to Arcade Creek. Please arrive on time as the complex is fairly expansive and the route to our meeting spot could be confusing.

Please bring water and only do what you are comfortable doing. As always, you can leave whenever you want or need.

This cleanup will have some challenging access spots into the creek and may require a rope to get into the channel, however, there are some flat spots as well for easy pickin’.

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 WATERPROOF footwear, grabbers, buckets, and gloves – a limited number of loaner buckets and grabbers may be available. There will be water in the creek, fairly deep in a few spots. Participants will be required to wear rain boots or waders if they intend to get into the water. The water is quite chilly this time of year. Entry into any waters is always optional.

Please meet us at Reycraft Drive and we will walk to where we ended. Some water is in the channel so boots are recommended. Waders will not be necessary.

Keoncrest will be rescheduled for another day.
We will be returning to this location to remove any new debris flushed downstream from the winter storms.

We will be focusing on the trash and debris within the creek channel and welcome anyone who would like to clean along the top banks.

There is water in the channel but boots should be good, except for a few deeper pools of water. We will be meeting along Keoncrest and entering behind the apartments.

We will continue to remove piles of trash in this stretch of Arcade Creek. This event will be conducted in coordination with the folks at Forensiclean who have graciously agreed to haul off all of the trash and encampment debris collected from this area!

Sturdy, waterproof boots, long sleeves and long pants are recommended. Folks desiring to enter the creek will need hip or chest waders. This will be an easy to difficult level event with uneven terrain.

RCWA will provide bags, but please bring along your grabbers, buckets, cultivators, rakes and gloves – a limited number of loaner buckets and grabbers may be available.
