RCWA – Ali & Lila’s Friday Crk Cleanup

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 trash cans (Friday is Garbage Day for this neighborhood).

We will begin our cleanup downstream of Garfield Avenue Bridge and will follow the trash, removing litter and bulk items that washed in from this last week’s rains. 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. Participants will be required to wear rain boots or waders if they intend to get into the water. 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!
