Location-3270 Norwood Avenue (closest address, but meet at Northeast gate)

*** Please meet on top of the levee near the NORTHEAST gate as we will caravan to the cleanup location. In order to get through the gate with the group, please make sure you arrive PRIOR to 8:30 a.m.

During this special Thursday event, we will continue removing the piles of trash in this stretch of Arcade Creek in this area. This event will be conducted in coordination with our friends at Forensiclean who have graciously agreed to haul off all of the trash and encampment debris collected during this event!

Sturdy boots, long sleeves and long pants are recommended due to thorns and stickers on the vegetation. This will be an easy to difficult level event with uneven terrain.

This event is not suitable for minors under 14 years old.  All minors must be accompanied and supervised by a responsible adult during the entire event.

Clean up location: 10064 Bruceville Road, Elk Grove

Franklin Creek and Whitelock Parkway along with the trail will be our focus for the third Saturday in June. Look for our cones at the parking lot where the new Safeway is located for meeting up before we head out. We encourage teams to spread out and cover various parts of this area. From the roadway to the creek, to the trail, it’s all available.

Elk Grove is worth the work! New to cleanups? Please arrive early to get signed in and get gear. If you have supplies, please bring your own gloves, buckets, bags, but we have items for you. Buckets, gloves, grabbers, vests, bags. Please wear appropriate clothing, boots  or closed-toe shoes, sunscreen, hats, and bring your own water.
All cleanups are done at your own risk, but safety first! Our trash safety talk starts promptly at 9:00 am.

June in Sacramento is perfect gardening weather. So much is in bloom that the specific mix changes daily—come see what the local UC Master Gardeners are up to in the demonstration garden.

All garden sections from vegetables to berries to fruit trees grapple with the same pest problems, watering issues and new variety opportunities that you do. Master Gardeners in each section can discuss current activities, challenges and discoveries.

Have a specific garden question that is vexing you? Feel free to bring bagged samples of plants or pests to the Ask a Master Gardener table.

The event is free and will take place rain or shine.

No pets, please!
