Please join Alison and Lilia for this cleanup of Arcade Creek near American River College. 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐁𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐖𝐄 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐂𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐓 𝐃𝐎𝐓 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝟒.𝟓 𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐄𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐆𝐔𝐎𝐔𝐒 𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐊 𝐂𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐍𝐄𝐃 𝐁𝐘 𝐑𝐂𝐖𝐀 𝐕𝐎𝐋𝐔𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑. 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.
Please bring water and only do what you are comfortable doing. As always, you can leave whenever you want or need. Please park on the residential streets, but be sure not to block any driveways or garbage cans.
We will park on Valhalla, then cautiously cross Winding Way 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’.
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 footwear, grabbers, buckets, and gloves – a limited number of loaner buckets and grabbers may be available. We expect 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.
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.
Overall, be safe, have fun and get some “Exercise with a Purpose”!, as Bill Templin says. Thank you!
