AGE LIMIT: This event is not suitable for minors under 14 years old. Minors older than 14 are invited, but must be supervised by a responsible adult during the entire event.
Please bring water and only do what you are comfortable doing. As always, you can leave whenever you want or need. 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 pickings. There will be water in the creek, therefore, hip and/or chest waders are recommended. There will be hauling involved in the event you don’t have waders, so please come out and lend a hand regardless.
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. If you have a cultivator or shovel, those will also be handy. There will be water in the creek. Participants will be required to wear rain boots or waders if they intend to get into the water, if any. 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! 💚

Our apologies, but this will be a 14-and-Over Event due to numerous active encampments in the area. All minors must be accompanied by an adult during the entire 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. The creek bed is dry. This will be an easy to difficult level event with uneven terrain.
RCWA will provide bags, but please bring along your grabbers, buckets, shovels, cultivators, rakes and gloves – a limited number of loaner buckets and grabbers may be available.

24 09:00 -12:00 2024.11.24 We will be returning to Copper Creek for another much-needed cleanup. This tributary flows, unabated, into Arcade Creek and is filled with trash that lines the bottom of the channel, polluting waterways downstream.
We plan to clean the north side of this area, above Garfield Ave. The area is a dry oak grove and grassy area that has several active and abandoned encampments. Lots of loose trash and bulk times in this location. Boots are recommended and waders will not be needed for this cleanup.
Please park in the Quiznos parking lot on the southeast corner of Greenback Lane & Garfield Avenue. We will gather our items and cross the street at the light.

The hoary squash bee may look similar to a honey bee, but it is quite a bit different! This native bee is the primary pollinator of #squash, #pumpkins, and other gourds in North America. On November 25, come learn from Dr. Susan Willis Chan about the importance and biology of this bee, and how you can protect it when managing pests in your crop!
| 26 | 27 | 28 | 29 | 30 09:00 -12:00 2024.11.30 Dry Creek Conservancy will be conducting a salmon count and we would love to have some RCWA volunteers help! Please read the description and instructions to register in the event post. You will need to email or text to reserve a spot. Looking forward to seeing some of you there!
𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐥 (𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝟏𝟑𝟒𝟐@𝐠𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐥.𝐜𝐨𝐦), 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥/𝐭𝐞𝐱𝐭 (𝟗𝟏𝟔-𝟔𝟐𝟔-𝟐𝟐𝟒𝟕), 𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐮𝐬 𝐚 𝐃𝐌 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟑𝟎.
Due to heavy rain forecasted over the next week/weekend, we are postponing our first salmon survey of the season by one week to November 30.
We will monitor the forecast and confirm the survey date next week. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Please meet in the back of the parking lot of the Regal UA Olympus Pointe Movie Theatre in Roseville (aka Miner’s Ravine Trailhead).
Untrained volunteers will be placed into a group with a trained volunteer. Groups will walk/wade upstream along a section of the Dry Creek watershed, roughly 1-2 miles each.
Volunteers should have their own waders (chest-high), although we do have loaners available upon pre-request. Young people, ages 13 to 17, are welcome but must be accompanied by a legal guardian and all volunteers will need to sign a waiver form.
