Location: 1633 Dreher St, Sacramento, CA 95811

Due to a concerted effort by RCWA volunteers and Sacramento County Regional Parks, all the heaping piles of trash along the Sacramento Northern Bikeway Trail Bridge (the Pipe Bridge) are quickly vanishing! Nevertheless, there are still a few trashy spots left so we are headed back.

We will focus on the steep, rocky river banks, where no one else will go. There will also be plenty of easy trash nearby for those not able to brave the steep banks. There should be something for everyone.

As with all nearly all of our events, sturdy, waterproof footwear would be helpful but sturdy shoes/boots should also work just fine. Long pants and long-sleeve shirts are highly recommended. This will be a difficult level event with a moderate walk.

AGE LIMIT: This event is not suitable for minors under 14 years old. Minors 14 and older are invited, but must be supervised by a responsible adult during the entire event.

In an effort to improve access to the cleanup site, we have permission to park on top of the levee. At 8:15 am, we will form a caravan starting at 1633 Dreher Street (located off North 16th Street just before Capitol Casino) and drive in together. The gate will be closed and locked at 8:30 am sharp, so please be early.

We will provide bags, but please bring along your grabbers, buckets, and gloves – a limited number of loaner buckets and grabbers may be available. If you have a cultivator or shovel, those could also be handy. Participants will be required to wear rain boots or waders if they intend to enter any streams or rivers. Entry into any waters is always optional.

As with all events shared on our Page, 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.

Location: American River College

Please join Ali and crew as we return to Arcade Creek near American River College to continue our post-winter Maintenance progress, working upstream. We will begin our cleanup at the Winding Way bridge near the ARC stadium. We will park on the east side of the south ARC parking lot (nearest that bridge), then cautiously walk to our cleanup spot. From there, we will follow the trash, removing litter and bulk items both in the creek and adjacent thereto. This cleanup location has 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’. Waders will be helpful.

We will continue to partner with Arcade Creek – Adopt A Creek Project to focus on another infamously trashed stretch of this 17-plus mile creek.

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

The event will range in difficulty from moderate to hard and may not be suitable for children under the age of 14. All minors must be supervised by a responsible adult.

This event is hosted by the American River Parkway Foundation:

Want to make a direct impact on the Parkway? The American River Parkway Foundation’s (ARPF) 46 dedicated Mile Stewards each “adopt” and care for a mile of the riverbanks, even getting recognized on directional signs along the paved bike trail! We invite you to volunteer alongside a Mile Steward at an upcoming cleanup and help them keep their mile looking beautiful. It’s a fantastic way to contribute to the Parkway’s health and see your efforts make a difference.

Shift description:
Join Diez and Sigg, ARPF’s Volunteer Mile Stewards at Mile 16N, for a Clean-Up on the American River Parkway. We’ll be clearing trash and debris.

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.
